CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a previous order finding no temporary total disability from February 2010 to July 2011. The applicant argued the Agreed Medical Examiner's opinion regarding permanent and stationary status was incorrect. New medical evidence from Dr. Nelson, indicating severe pain and a need for further surgery during that period, along with a later report from the applicant's treating physician, Dr. Kaplan, supporting temporary disability, led the Board to rescind the original order. The case is remanded for further proceedings and a new decision based on this updated evidence.
