CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied the defendant's petition for removal but granted reconsideration of a prior award. The Board amended the award to remove the finding of temporary disability continuing from the date of the decision. This was due to inconsistencies and the applicant's unclear intent regarding surgery, which would determine ongoing temporary disability. Jurisdiction is reserved for any further temporary disability claims, contingent on the applicant's decision about surgery.
