CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant seeking further temporary disability benefits for injuries sustained in 1999, 2000, and 2001-2002. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration, overturning a prior ruling that denied jurisdiction to award benefits beyond five years from the date of injury. The WCAB found jurisdiction exists for the 2000 and 2001-2002 injuries because temporary disability entitlement was not previously resolved. Consequently, the applicant is entitled to temporary disability from June 2, 2011, continuing, for those latter two injury dates.
