DANIEL LOERA vs. BOB JONES PAINTING, LWP CLAIMS SOLUTIONS, Security Insurance Company of Hartford

The Board granted reconsideration to reverse an award of temporary total disability benefits. The WCJ erred in awarding continuing temporary disability as it began more than five years after the date of injury, a period beyond the Board's jurisdictional authority. The decision emphasizes that temporary disability indemnity may not be awarded for a period commencing more than five years from the date of injury, even if surgery was recommended or delayed.
