CompFox AI Summary
In this workers' compensation case, the defendant sought reconsideration of a prior ruling denying them a credit for temporary disability overpayments against the applicant's permanent disability award. The defendant argued they were entitled to the credit due to payments exceeding the statutory limit. However, the Board denied the petition, finding that allowing the credit would be inequitable and potentially prejudice the applicant. The Board also noted that since the permanent disability had already been paid, there were no outstanding benefits for the credit to be applied against.
