CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an order denying an applicant more than 104 weeks of temporary disability benefits. The applicant argued that the defendant delayed necessary treatment, justifying an extension of benefits, but failed to provide specific evidence to support claims of tolling or estoppel. Furthermore, the applicant's contention that the defendant should be sanctioned for delaying treatment was denied because it was not raised at trial. The Board affirmed the administrative law judge's report, finding no legal basis to extend the statutory limit on temporary disability.
