CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to amend a finding regarding the applicant's temporary disability period. The applicant sustained a cumulative trauma injury, but the defendant contested the Employment Development Department's (EDD) reimbursement claim, arguing no industrial temporary total disability existed. Ultimately, the Board affirmed the WCJ's decision, finding the applicant's orthopedic pain caused stress-related issues that led to temporary disability, entitling EDD to reimbursement for benefits paid. The Board corrected the specific dates of temporary disability in the original order.
