This case concerns an applicant's industrial injury in 2009. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration regarding the applicant's maximum medical improvement date. The Board affirmed the administrative law judge's decision, finding that the defendant failed to object to the treating physician's determination of the applicant's permanent and stationary date. Consequently, the defendant is not entitled to a credit for overpayment of temporary disability benefits, as doing so would significantly reduce the applicant's permanent disability award.
