CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded the administrative law judge's (WCJ) findings due to insufficient substantial medical evidence. Both the applicant's treating physician and the qualified medical examiner's reports lacked adequate reasoning and specific details regarding causation and the applicant's job duties across all employers. The WCAB returned the case to the WCJ for further proceedings to develop the record, potentially including additional medical evaluations. This decision is not final and allows for further reconsideration of the WCJ's new decision.
