Injury / body parts: neck, right shoulder, cervicogenic headaches, pain-related insomnia, psyche, nervous system, sexual dysfunction

LC §3208.3

Summary

Applicant Amber Webber sustained admitted industrial injury to her neck, right shoulder, cervicogenic headaches, and pain-related insomnia while working as a bander/paper wrap crew member on April 5, 2019. The WCJ found no compensable psychiatric injury and found applicant's harassment allegations not credible. On reconsideration, the Board affirmed the F&A but amended it to defer the psychiatric injury issue because the psychiatric QME's report (Dr. Rajpoot) was internally inconsistent regarding causation and the F&A failed to address whether the psychiatric condition was a compensable consequence of the orthopedic injury. The Board returned the matter to the WCJ for development of the record and a new decision.
