The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of the WCJ's decision that the applicant's Compromise and Release (C&R) was properly paid. The applicant argued the defendant underpaid the $105,000 settlement by $7,957.02 due to improper deductions of permanent disability advances. While the Order Approving C&R allowed credit for all permanent disability advances previously made, the Board found the defendant's payment evidence was insufficient to prove proper payment. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for further proceedings to determine if the C&R was correctly paid.
