CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to correct a clerical error in the permanent disability award, reducing it from 40.25 to 30.25 weeks and adjusting the weekly rate to $230.00, resulting in a total permanent disability award of $6,957.50. The Board affirmed the temporary disability indemnity rate based on the parties' stipulation, rejecting the defendant's attempt to introduce a wage statement that contradicted their prior agreement and was not properly presented as newly discovered evidence. Consequently, the defendant's petition for reconsideration was granted in part to amend the award, but otherwise affirmed the judge's findings.
