CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) rescinded the prior award and returned the case for further proceedings. The WCAB found no medical evidence to support the applicant's temporary total disability from January 4, 2009, to April 1, 2009, but affirmed the 15% increase in permanent disability under Labor Code section 4658(d)(2). This increase is due to the employer's failure to offer qualifying work after the applicant reached permanent and stationary status, as the applicant's retirement was forced by his industrial injuries. The WCAB also noted admitted calculation errors requiring correction.
