Description
An employee claiming a workplace injury from exposure to toxic fumes appeals the denial of her workers compensation claim. The Workers Compensation Division (the "Division") found that the employee did not present sufficient evidence to demonstrate her injury was connected to her work. The Office of Judges (the "OOJ") affirmed, and refused to consider evidence submitted by the employee after the expiration of a "time frame" for evidence introduction. The Workers Compensation Appeal Board (the "WCAB") affirmed the original decision, and the decision to exclude the offered evidence. In her appeal to this Court, the appellant argues that the OOJ should have considered her additional evidence, or ruled her claim compensable on the original evidence presented. We find that the OOJ and WCAB erred in not considering the additional evidence and reverse.
