Any appeal must be filed with the WCAB within 20 days of the service of the decision. After an appeal has been timely filed, the Return-to-Work Program may, within the period of fifteen (15) days following the date of filing of that appeal, amend or modify the decision or rescind the decision and take further action. Further action shall be initiated within 30 days from the order of rescission. The time for filing an appeal will run from the filing date of the new, amended or modified decision. Any such appeal will be subject to review at the trial level of the WCAB upon the same grounds as prescribed for petitions for reconsideration.
