CompFox AI Summary

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended a previous award. The Board found that the applicant sustained an industrial injury to her neck and back, resulting in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. While affirming most of the prior award, the Board specifically changed the commencement date of the second period of temporary disability to February 11, 2011, aligning with a QME's opinion regarding the applicant's condition. Consequently, attorney fees were adjusted to reflect this revised period of temporary disability.
