CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board rescinded a prior award finding the applicant not yet permanent and stationary and ordered temporary disability indefinitely. This was because the applicant had multiple injuries with different application dates for the 104-week temporary disability cap under Labor Code section 4656(c)(2). The Board returned the case to the trial level to determine which specific injury or injuries caused the applicant's temporary disability. This clarification is necessary to correctly apply the statutory limitations on temporary disability payments.
