Section EMP.04.15 — Review By The Alj

(a) On its own motion and for reasons that it deems sufficient, the ALJ may set aside its decision in a matter, upon the grounds of mistake or newly discovered evidence, within one year after the date of the decision.

(b) If it appears that a mistake may have been made as to the cause of injury, where an injury was attributed to an accident when the worker was suffering from cumulative injury or occupational disease, the ALJ may upon its own motion, within 3 years of the decision, set aside the decision. After review of the claim and an opportunity for a hearing, the ALJ may make new findings and award, or it may reinstate the previous findings, order or award, if in fact the worker is suffering from a cumulative injury or occupational disease arising out of the employment.

(c) The ALJ may set aside an order or award where there is sufficient evidence that the order or award was procured by fraud.
