CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board dismissed the defendant's Petition for Removal. The defendant sought to rescind an order requiring them to advance permanent disability indemnity based on undisputed medical evidence. The Board found that the administrative law judge's statement was not an order but rather a restatement of Labor Code section 4650(b)(1), which requires advances only when there is a reasonable estimate of permanent disability due. Therefore, the defendant was not aggrieved at this stage.
