CompFox AI Summary
The defendant appeals an award of temporary disability and medical reimbursement. The applicant's psychiatric injury claim was found barred by the post-termination provisions of Labor Code section 3208.3(e). However, the initial finding incorrectly granted benefits based on the defendant's failure to act after receiving a medical evaluator's report, as per Labor Code section 4063. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinded the original decision, and ruled that no compensation is owed due to the claim being time-barred and a post-termination claim.
