CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted the defendant's timely Petition for Reconsideration because the submitted medical reports were inconsistent and did not constitute substantial evidence regarding new and further disability. The Board found that the applicant's symptoms had increased despite claims of being "permanent and stationary," necessitating further development of the record. The matter was returned to the WCJ to address the admissibility of a specific medical report and to fully adjudicate the issue of new and further disability. Jurisdiction was reserved for further proceedings.
