CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant argued they were denied due process when the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) amended a prior decision to correct a Labor Code section reference concerning temporary disability indemnity. The Board found that the original reference to Labor Code § 4656(c)(2) was a clerical error, as the WCJ clearly intended to apply Labor Code § 4656(c)(1) based on the date of injury. The Board affirmed the WCJ's authority to correct such clerical errors.
