The Board rejected the defendant's argument that the applicant was estopped from receiving benefits due to refusing modified work, as the offer was only for the 2017 season and no offer existed for 2018. While agreeing the defendant's delays estopped them from challenging temporary disability, the Board limited this to the period until the applicant could be examined by a newly authorized treating physician. The issue of temporary disability after August 30, 2018, was deferred pending further medical reports.
