CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an industrial neck injury where the WCAB denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration on serious and willful misconduct and granted the defendant's petition. The Appeals Board modified the original award to reduce the Employment Development Department's (EDD) lien from $6,555.00 to $1,982.55, as the lien only applies to days with overlapping EDD and workers' compensation indemnity benefits. Consequently, the defendant received a larger credit for temporary disability overpayment, significantly reducing the applicant's net recovery.
