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.
Applicant did not perform work for employer for six months as stipulated in the Compromise and Release; lien claimant failed to provide evidence to contradict this stipulation; therefore psychiatric injury claim is not compensable.
From the decision · page 4Accordingly, we affirm the F&O except that we amend the F&O to find that applicant did not perform work for 1st Choice Body Paint, Inc., for six months, thereby per Labor Code section 3208.3(D), the psychiatric injury is not compensable.
