CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant's industrial injury sustained between 2000 and 2004. The defendant sought reconsideration of a prior award, arguing the incorrect permanent disability schedule was applied. The Board granted reconsideration to amend the award, specifically to credit the defendant for temporary disability benefits applicant received from EDD, thereby preventing duplicate recovery. However, the Board affirmed the WCJ's decision to apply the 1997 permanent disability schedule, finding that a pre-2005 medical report sufficiently "indicated" permanent disability.
