JEANETTE PARKER vs. COUNTY OF AMADOR, permissibly self-insured adjusted by YORK INSURANCE and DR. GORDON ANDERSON and STATE COMPENSATION INSURANCE FUND

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration, adopting the WCJ's report. The defendant argued the WCJ erred in finding increased permanent disability and sought credit for temporary disability payments. The Board found the defendant's reliance on outdated medical reports unconvincing and noted the credit issue was not raised in the relevant case file. Furthermore, the Board determined allowing such a credit would unfairly burden the applicant and disrupt the purpose of permanent disability awards.
