CompFox AI Summary
The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address the defendant's petition to terminate temporary total disability indemnity. While the defendant's initial petition had procedural defects, including failing to adhere to filing deadlines and content requirements, the Board found that Labor Code section 4700 dictates no liability for temporary disability benefits exists beyond the date of the applicant's death. Consequently, the Board rescinded the prior order and issued a new order terminating the defendant's liability for temporary total disability indemnity as of February 20, 2007, the date of the applicant's death.
