JOZEPHINE PALINSKA vs. WALGREENS, INC.; SEDGWICK CLAIMS MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The Appeals Board granted reconsideration to award temporary disability indemnity for the left shoulder injury (SFO 0482716 and SFO 0482717) from June 28, 2006, to December 13, 2006, at the stipulated rate of $405.23 per week. This decision was based on evidence showing the applicant's retirement was involuntary due to unaccommodated work restrictions stemming from her injuries. The Board denied other requests as they were either previously addressed or waived by not being raised in earlier petitions. All other aspects of the prior decision were affirmed.
