The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Wendy Leung's petition for reconsideration of the administrative law judge's decision. The judge found no substantial medical evidence to support a subsequent compensable industrial permanent disability claim sufficient for benefits from the Subsequent Injuries Benefit Trust Fund (SIBTF). Leung contended she met SIBTF eligibility by claiming a prior $43%$ permanent disability, a subsequent injury, and a resulting combined disability exceeding $70%$. However, the Board agreed that Leung failed to prove industrial causation for her subsequent injury with reasonable medical probability.
