CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration, rescinding the prior award of temporary disability. The Board found the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof for temporary disability from October 6, 2007, to March 13, 2008. This was due to insufficient evidence, particularly the absence of key medical reports and a lack of proof that the employer was unable to accommodate restrictions. The Board also found the applicant's termination was due to unexcused absences, not an inability to perform modified work.
