CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the trial judge's decision denying temporary disability benefits. The Board found the record insufficiently developed to determine if the applicant's industrial back and shoulder injury prevented her from working. Specifically, the Board noted the lack of hearing minutes and the need to distinguish industrial disability from non-industrial carpal tunnel surgery recovery. The case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to develop the record regarding temporary disability entitlement.
