CompFox AI Summary
The defendant sought reconsideration of an award of temporary disability benefits, arguing the applicant had received the maximum 104 weeks allowed. The Board affirmed the award, finding the defendant was bound by a prior stipulation that less than 104 weeks had been paid. Defendant's failure to adequately investigate its payment records prior to stipulating meant they could not later challenge the award based on a "lack of full knowledge." The Board also amended a finding to accurately reflect the payment dates of temporary disability.
