Rose Marie Nuno vs. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SOCIAL SERVICES; Permissibly Self-Insured

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the employer's petition for reconsideration, upholding the judge's award of continuing temporary disability benefits and penalties for unreasonable delays in payment. The judge relied on the Agreed Medical Examiner's finding that the applicant was not yet permanent and stationary. The Board affirmed the judge's decision, adopting the judge's report which addressed the employer's arguments regarding insufficient findings, inadmissible evidence, and penalty awards. The employer's request for additional briefing was also denied.
