CompFox AI Summary

This case concerns a dispute over the start date for calculating the two-year limit on temporary disability payments under Labor Code section 4656(c)(1). The Board affirmed the Workers' Compensation Judge's award, holding that the "date of commencement of temporary disability payment" refers to when the indemnity is first paid, not when it is first owed. This decision is consistent with the Board's en banc ruling in Hawkins v. Amberwood Products.
