CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's Petition for Reconsideration of the Findings and Award (F&A) in two cases involving applicant Osama Agaiby. The F&A had awarded separate Labor Code section 4850 benefits for two injuries with overlapping temporary disability periods. The defendant argued that these benefits should run concurrently. The WCAB rescinded the F&As, holding that section 4850 benefits run concurrently when an applicant is on disability due to the combined effect of multiple injuries. The issues of temporary disability and section 4850 benefits were deferred, and the matters were returned to the trial level for adjustment.
