Questions of credibility, reasonableness and
weight of medical evidence are for the Board to decide. It is within the
province of the Board to resolve conflicts in the medical testimony as
well as to determine the reasonableness of and the weight and
credibility to be given to such testimony (see Matter of Forrest v
Grossman's Lumber, 175 AD2d 498 [1991], lv denied 78 NY2d 862 [1991]).
Typically petitioning the Board for a finding involves depositions of all medical experts involved, both the Claimant's treating physicians and the Carrier's IMEs.
