FRED BALL vs. State of California - Department of Corrections, legally uninsured

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a stipulated award to address the CCPOA Benefit Trust Fund's lien. The Board rescinded the award because the stipulated provision making the applicant solely responsible for CCPOA's lien was improperly approved without notice to CCPOA. The case is returned for further proceedings, including a scheduled lien conference, to properly address the lien claim and potential duplication with temporary disability payments. Sanctions against the defendant were not imposed, but a warning was issued regarding timely document service.
