Both parties petitioned for reconsideration, but the Appeals Board dismissed these as the disapproval order was not a final order. Treating the petitions as requests for removal, the Board rescinded both the disapproval and subsequent approval orders. The matter is returned to the trial level for the ALJ to determine the C&R's adequacy, specifically addressing the alleged overpayment of temporary disability.
