CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's request for 100% permanent disability, upholding the prior award of 72%. Defendant's petition was granted to amend the award to grant credit for permanent disability advances and correct the temporary disability rate calculation. The Board also amended the award to apply the Labor Code section 4656(c)(1) limitations on temporary total disability payments, which a dissenting commissioner argued was improper due to a lack of evidence regarding payment commencement dates. The parties are to adjust the temporary disability amount or submit disputes for further determination.
