CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The applicant sought to overturn the judge's decision to allow credits for temporary disability indemnity (TDI) paid after the Agreed Medical Examiner (AME) determined the applicant was permanent and stationary. The Board adopted the judge's report, finding that the AME's report, even with a delay in signing, provided substantial medical evidence of the applicant's P&S status on the examination dates. The credits were deemed permissible under Labor Code § 4909 as they were not disruptive to the applicant's benefits.
