CompFox AI Summary
This case involves Janet Bodinar's workers' compensation claim against the Capistrano Unified School District. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration of a prior administrative law judge (WCJ) award due to ambiguities. Specifically, the WCAB found the WCJ failed to clearly specify the exact sums of temporary and permanent total disability indemnity due and the credit for prior payments. The WCAB also deemed the attorney's fee award "unintelligible" and lacking explanation, ordering the matter returned for a clear and enforceable award. The WCAB affirmed the $167.14 weekly benefit rate but mandated specific calculations for indemnity and attorney's fees.
