Substantial evidence supported a decision by New York’s Workers’ Compensation Board that denied benefits to a claims examiner who contended she suffered a shoulder injury in a work-related fall at her office where she waited 19 months before seeking medical treatment and acknowledged that she suffered from preexisting physical issues as well. Observing that the claimant had waited to file her claim and had introduced only cursory and inadequate medical forms that did not speak of causation, the appellate court said the Board was justified in finding that the claimant had failed to show a true connection between her alleged condition and the workplace.
