CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns an applicant police officer's entitlement to Labor Code section 4850 benefits. The applicant sought reconsideration, arguing he was owed an additional period of benefits beyond the one-year maximum, as he did not receive full daily pay for part of the period. The Board denied reconsideration, reaffirming that the one-year limit for section 4850 benefits, calculated from the commencement date, was correctly applied. The defendant's request regarding attorney's fees was also deemed waived due to not being raised in a prior petition.
