The defendant argued the temporary disability award violated the 104-week limit and that the judge mischaracterized a medical examiner. The EDD sought reimbursement for overlapping benefits paid to the applicant. The Board agreed that the 104-week limitation applies and that the EDD's lien needs further review to determine any overlapping benefit payments.
