This case concerns a defendant's petition for reconsideration of a workers' compensation award. The Appeals Board denied the petition, affirming the finding that the applicant sustained industrial injuries and is entitled to temporary total disability (TTD) indemnity from August 1, 2006, to January 27, 2008. The Board found sufficient evidence, including the treating physician's reports and applicant's testimony, to support the need for surgery and the resulting TTD period, despite the Agreed Medical Evaluator's later confirmation of the surgical necessity.
