CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied Karen Kearney's petition for reconsideration, upholding the prior decision that denied additional temporary disability benefits. The Board found that the requested temporary disability period from April 2003 to May 2004 extended beyond the five-year statutory limit from the date of injury. Previous stipulations clearly defined temporary disability periods, and a worsening condition alone does not establish a new compensable period beyond the statutory limitations.
