CompFox AI Summary
This workers' compensation case concerns a $$17,140.42$ lien claimed by the California Correctional Peace Officers Association Benefit Trust for living expenses paid to the applicant. While a Compromise and Release agreement stipulated payment to the lien claimant subject to amendment, an addendum stated the applicant would resolve the lien. The WCAB granted reconsideration because the prior decision was incomplete, failing to definitively determine applicant's liability for the lien after the defendant SCIF made settlement payments directly to the applicant. The matter is returned to the trial level for a new decision addressing the applicant's responsibility.
