CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The applicant sought temporary disability benefits for a period from December 2010 to July 2012. The Board found that the applicant failed to demonstrate "new and further" temporary disability as required by Labor Code section 5410. This was based on the report of Dr. Davies, whose subsequent opinion contradicted her earlier finding of no temporary disability, without providing a sufficient explanation for the change.
