CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of an administrative law judge's (ALJ) award finding industrial injury to applicant's right knee and ankle. The primary issue was whether the ALJ erred by awarding temporary disability that potentially exceeded the 104-week limit under Labor Code section 4656(c)(2). The Board found the issue of temporary disability was sufficiently raised and amended the decision to defer determination of temporary disability, the EDD lien, and related attorney fees for the ALJ to re-evaluate under the proper statutory limitation. The permanent disability award of 15% was otherwise affirmed.
