Julie Vior — ADJ9828972, ADJ8555784

Applicant Julie Vior sought reconsideration/removal of the Appeals Board's May 26, 2026 Opinion and Order Granting Defendant's Petition for Reconsideration, which had itself granted reconsideration of a WCJ's February 20, 2026 Findings and Award. The core dispute is whether applicant sustained one continuous cumulative trauma covering her entire employment period or two separate cumulative traumas. Applicant argued the grant of reconsideration did not meet the Earley standard, caused delay, and contradicted the parties' stipulation and AME Dr. Peter Newton's opinion that there was a single continuous CT. The Board, upon preliminary review, concluded the record was not sufficiently developed on the one-versus-two CT question and granted applicant's petition to permit further study. The Board deferred issuance of a final decision after reconsideration pending further review of the merits and the entire record.
