Hotel Del Coronado, PSI, Wear & Wood, Inc. (Third Party Administrator), Petitioner v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board, Salvacion Managuit, Respondents. Applicant appealed and the WCJ found that the termination order was not supported by substantial evidence and, thus, it must be vacated. The WCAB denied reconsideration and Defendant petitioned for a writ of review, claiming: 1) that Defendant had complied with Code Sec. The findings and conclusions of the WCAB on questions of fact are conclusive and final and are not subject to review. Under these circumstances, the WCAB acted reasonably in deciding the worker was not required to respond to the offer of alternative work.
