Here's a summary of the case for a lawyer:
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to modify an award of temporary disability (TD) benefits. While upholding the applicant's entitlement to TD from May 30, 2020, to July 12, 2020, the Board deferred the issue of ongoing benefits after that date. This deferral was due to insufficient medical evidence to support TD beyond July 12, 2020, despite the treating physician's opinion that the applicant was not yet permanent and stationary. The Board emphasized the need for further development of the medical record regarding future TD entitlement.
