In the decision, the WCJ found that applicant’s condition was permanent and stationary as of August 1, 2008. The parties stipulated that applicant was paid temporary disability indemnity corresponding to the period August 30, 2007 to March 2, 2009. In the Findings and Award, the WCJ found that defendant was entitled to a credit towards its permanent disability indemnity liability of all of its payments of temporary disability indemnity corresponding to periods after the August 1, 2008 permanent and stationary date.

We have received an answer from defendant, and the WCJ has filed a Report and Recommendation on Petition for Reconsideration. As explained below, we will grant reconsideration and amend the Findings and Award of July 13, 2012 to reflect that defendant is only entitled to a credit for temporary disability indemnity paid after January 6, 2009. , Applicant was declared temporarily totally disabled by her treating physician, and was continued on temporary disability in status reports issued on November 27, 2007, March 5, 2008, July 16, 2008, September 5, 2008, and October 1, 2008.1
