CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a prior award finding an industrial injury to the applicant's back and neck. The Board remanded the case for further proceedings, specifically ordering the WCJ to clarify the commencement date of temporary disability, address potential entitlement to additional benefits based on Labor Code § 4656(c)(1), and clarify the correct temporary disability rate due to conflicting findings. The Board also indicated that the applicant's permanent disability rating under the 2005 PDRS appeared supported by the record, but did not make a final decision on that issue.
