CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The Board found the defendant failed to specifically prove the dates and amounts of any temporary disability overpayment, nor provide an explanation for it. Allowing credit for overpayment would have unfairly diminished the applicant's permanent disability award. The unexplained overpayment also deprived the applicant of opportunities to utilize alternative benefits.
