CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the County of San Diego's petition for reconsideration, affirming an award of temporary disability and salary continuation benefits to Kyle Pike. Despite the benefits extending beyond five years from the injury date, the Board found applicant's temporary disability commenced within that period and was limited to 104 weeks. This decision aligns with a judicial interpretation that allows such awards when a timely petition to reopen is filed and benefits begin within the statutory five-year window. The dissenting opinion argued that Labor Code section 4656(c)(2) strictly prohibits temporary disability payments beyond five years from the injury date for injuries after January 1, 2008.
