The Board denied both petitions, finding the defendant's subsequent payment of benefits beyond the stipulation date established it as a continuing award. Furthermore, the Board noted that under Labor Code section 4651.1, a rebuttable presumption of continuing disability exists until a petition to terminate liability is properly filed and overcome.
