CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the applicant's petition for reconsideration as an impermissibly successive filing. The applicant sought to extend temporary total disability benefits beyond the period previously awarded, based on a QME's summary of another doctor's records. The Board found the QME's summary insufficient as medical evidence and noted the applicant failed to present new evidence. Therefore, the original decision, which awarded temporary total disability from April 16, 2015, to May 18, 2015, stands.
