CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) amended its prior decision regarding applicant Rosendo Hernandez's injuries. While affirming findings of work-related low back and right knee injuries with corresponding permanent disability ratings, the WCAB reversed the finding of unreasonable delay in paying permanent disability advances. The Board clarified that the defendant had a colorable argument for not providing advances due to the applicant's continued full salary employment, thus no penalty was warranted for this delay. The decision also corrected clerical errors and confirmed the applicant's attorney fee.
