CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding a prior decision that the defendant has no further liability for temporary disability payments. The applicant argued for continued temporary disability based on his treating physician's opinion, but the Board found that the five-year statute of limitations, as per Labor Code sections 5804 and 5410, barred further claims for temporary disability beyond the established award. The applicant's permanent and stationary status was determined by a defense QME on December 17, 2007, which ended the defendant's obligation to pay temporary disability indemnity.
