Workers’ compensation board properly affirmed the WCJ’s dismissal of claimant’s reinstatement petition because claimant failed to establish a causal connection between her current condition and her recognized work-related injuries, failed to comply with the special rules relating to the admissibility of a doctor’s report and failed to establish a worsening of her condition subsequent to the termination of her benefits. Affirmed.
