CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) reviewed a case where the applicant sought temporary total disability (TTD) indemnity. The WCAB amended a prior award, removing TTD benefits commencing May 23, 2006, because they began more than five years after the date of injury and applicant had returned to work. However, the WCAB affirmed the award of TTD indemnity for the period of October 13, 2003, through July 14, 2004, as it fell within the five-year jurisdictional limit. The WCAB also granted applicant's attorney fees but deferred calculation of both TTD indemnity and fees pending further evidence on earnings.
