What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The Board gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility determinations and found no substantial evidence to reject them, concluding the commutation was in applicant's best interest given her financial situation and housing needs.
From the decision · page 1We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Reconsideration and the Supplemental Petition1 and the contents of the report of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record, and for the reasons stated in the WCJ's report, which we adopt and incorporate, we will deny reconsideration.
