In McBennett v. Long Beach Unified School District, the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted the defendant's petition for reconsideration to address the award of temporary disability benefits. The WCAB found that while medical evidence supported temporary total disability from September 4, 2014, to February 1, 2015, the issue of whether applicant was bound by a prior stipulation waiving temporary disability benefits through February 8, 2016, remained unresolved. The Board deferred the temporary disability issue and remanded the case to the WCJ for further proceedings to determine if good cause existed to withdraw from the stipulation. The WCAB affirmed the permanent disability award and medical treatment provision.
