This case clarifies that the 104-week limit for temporary disability under Labor Code section 4656(c)(1) begins from the date temporary disability payments are first paid, not the date for which they are owed. The Appeals Board affirmed the initial award, finding the two-year period began on the stipulated date of the first payment, April 27, 2005. Therefore, temporary disability was correctly awarded through April 26, 2007, unless the applicant's condition became permanent and stationary earlier.
