CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an employer's petition for reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision regarding temporary total disability (TTD) and an EDD lien. The Board denied reconsideration, upholding the finding that the applicant was entitled to additional TTD from April 6, 2006, to August 8, 2007, based on medical reports indicating ongoing treatment and inability to work. The employer's arguments regarding insufficient evidence for TTD and waiver of the EDD lien were rejected. The Board found the primary treating physician's opinion supported the TTD award, and the EDD lien was allowed to prevent double recovery without prejudicing the employer.
