The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's finding that the applicant was entitled to temporary disability benefits from February 10, 2021, to January 25, 2022. The employer argued the treating physician's report lacked substantial evidence due to an inaccurate history. However, the Board found the physician's reporting, including deposition testimony, constituted substantial evidence. The applicant's physical limitations and the employer's failure to offer modified work supported the disability finding.
