Robin Cohen, vs. California Department Of Corrections And Rehabilitation – Cci Tehachapi; State Compensation Insurance Fund,

P.O. BOX 7441 SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94120-7441In this case, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation - CCI Tehachapi and the State Compensation Insurance Fund were involved in a dispute over the payment of permanent disability indemnity benefits. The Findings and Award from February 3, 2017 was amended to reflect the correct starting date for payment of permanent disability indemnity benefits, which was March 13, 2015 instead of March 15, 2013. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed the February 3, 2017 Findings and Award, except for the amendment to Finding of Fact no. 3.

California Department Of Corrections And Rehabilitation – Cci Tehachapi; State Compensation Insurance Fund, Robin Cohen, , adopt and incorporate, we will otherwise affirm the WCJ.            The F&A states, “During the period from March 15, 2013 to June 22, 2016, Defendant paid Applicant $13,537.14 in permanent disability indemnity.” (Finding of Fact no. 3.) Defendant states in its Petition, “The Defendant would like to put the Board on notice that a mistake was made on the Pre- Trial Conference Statement which was then restated in both the Minutes of Hearing and Summary of Evidence and then in the Findings of Fact #3. The mistake is that Permanent Disability has been paid from March 13, 2015 to June 22, 2016 and not from March 15, 2013. These correct dates are shown in Defendant’s Exhibit A.” (Petition, p. 2:22-26.) In turn, defendant’s Exhibit A reflects a starting date of March 13, 2015. (Exhibit A, p. 1.) Accordingly, we will amend the F&A to reflect the correct starting date for payment of permanent disability indemnity benefits.            For the foregoing reasons,            IT IS ORDERED that defendant’s Petition for Reconsideration of the February 3, 2017 Findings and Award is GRANTED.////////////////////////////////////////// ,             IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, as the Decision After Reconsideration of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board, that the February 3, 2017 Findings and Award is AFFIRMED, EXCEPT that Finding of Fact no. 3 is AMENDED as follows:FINDINGS OF FACT     3.
