This case concerns an applicant seeking removal from an order delaying an expedited hearing on temporary disability benefits. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted removal, finding the applicant would suffer significant prejudice from the delay, especially given her two-year period of temporary total disability and lack of benefits. The WCAB rescinded the prior order, mandating an expedited hearing on temporary disability in the accepted case. This decision emphasizes the urgent nature of temporary disability claims and the inappropriable of delaying them for settlement conferences when benefits are overdue.
