CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant seeking additional temporary disability indemnity (TDI) for a shoulder injury after already receiving two years of TDI for a back injury. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, reversing the prior award. The Board found that because the periods of temporary disability for the back and shoulder injuries entirely overlapped, the applicant is limited to 104 weeks of TDI pursuant to Labor Code section 4656(c)(1). Therefore, the applicant is not entitled to any additional TDI beyond what has already been paid.
