Summary

Applicant Terrianne Watkins, in pro per, sought reconsideration of a May 20, 2025 Order Approving Compromise and Release (OACR) covering two conjoined claims, arguing the OACR was procured by fraud and that she was not adequately compensated for temporary disability. The petition was untimely and, more importantly, no evidentiary hearing had been held, so there was no record on which the Board could evaluate her contentions. The WCJ recommended dismissing the petition as premature and remanding so it could be treated as a petition to set aside the C&R. The Board adopted the WCJ's Report and dismissed the Petition for Reconsideration, returning the matter to the trial level for a hearing on whether good cause exists to set aside the OACR.
