However, the Board denied reconsideration, reaffirming that under Hawkins v. Amberwood Products, the two-year period begins on the date of the first payment of temporary disability, not when it was first owed. Since the first payment was August 8, 2007, the 104-week period validly extended to August 7, 2009.
