In this Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision, reconsideration was granted to address two issues raised by the defendant. The Board rescinded the award of an overpayment credit against future temporary disability benefits due to the defendant's significant delays in payments and the potential expiration of temporary disability benefits. However, the Board deferred the issue of the 15% permanent disability increase under Labor Code section 4658(d)(2), remanding the case for further proceedings to determine if the employer had fifty or more employees, as this is a prerequisite for the increase. The Board affirmed all other aspects of the original Findings and Award.
