CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded a previous award, holding that the applicant was not entitled to "new and further" temporary disability benefits commencing after the five-year statutory period from her original injury. While the WCAB agreed with the administrative law judge's amended order clarifying the scope of the decision, they found that the claim for temporary disability after the five-year mark lacked jurisdiction. The issue of new and further permanent disability remains deferred.
