WELDON PITTS vs. LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN TRANSIT AUTHORITY

This case involves a dispute over temporary disability payments for an applicant who sustained a cumulative industrial injury. The applicant contended the WCJ erred by finding payments were made in this case and by incorrectly calculating the 104-week temporary disability cap. The defendant argued against awarding benefits due to an EDD lien and the applicant's voluntary removal from the labor market. The Board granted the applicant's petition, amended the findings to clarify that temporary disability payments were made in a separate case (ADJ6875920), and revised the commencement date for the 104-week cap in this case (ADJ4492292) to the first actual payment.
