Summary

Applicant Victor Bonnevie filed a cumulative trauma claim alleging injury while employed by Medical Oxygen and Supplies, Inc. during April 20, 2024 through April 20, 2025. At trial, applicant's own testimony and documentary evidence (Indeed platform messages) established that his employment did not begin until around April 21, 2025, refuting the pled dates. The WCJ found no employment during the alleged period and denied applicant's oral motion to conform the pleadings to testimony, reasoning she lacked authority to amend without defendant's consent. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, holding the WCJ erred because she has full authority to amend pleadings and a duty to develop the record rather than issue a meaningless finding. The Board rescinded the F&O and returned the matter to the WCJ for further proceedings on the newly alleged dates of employment and injury.
