CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant's entitlement to temporary disability indemnity (TDI) following a right upper extremity injury. The defendant sought reconsideration of an award, arguing TDI should cease earlier based on a QME's opinion and statutory limits. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, amending the award to find TDI payable from January 3, 2006, through September 2, 2008, and continuing, while establishing the "date of commencement" for the two-year TDI limit as July 1, 2008, the date of first payment. The Board found the treating physician's opinion more persuasive than the QME's regarding the duration of temporary disability.
