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 deferred the issue of attorney's fees as it was not properly addressed at trial.
From the decision · page 37. The issue of attorney's fees is deferred.
The Board found that the applicant did not have both disability and knowledge of the industrial nature of her injury until after the claim was filed, so the post-termination defense does not apply and the date of injury is February 28, 2022.
