CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a dispute over the applicant's temporary total disability (TTD) indemnity period following a work injury. Initially, the Workers' Compensation Judge (WCJ) awarded TTD from January 20, 2001, to April 30, 2001. The Appeals Board amended this, extending TTD to January 14, 2004, based on a psychiatric evaluation. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing TTD should have ended on June 18, 2002, per a prior report from Dr. Levine. The Board denied the defendant's petition, affirming TTD to January 14, 2004, as Dr. Levine's earlier report lacked an unequivocal permanent and stationary date and a psychiatrist's evaluation confirmed this later date.
