UZMA XINA KANG vs. ENTERTAINMENT PARTNERS, CNA CLAIMPLUS

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and amended the original award. The Board found the applicant to be a "minimum earner" for both temporary and permanent disability indemnity purposes. Consequently, the temporary disability indemnity rate was reduced to \$126 per week and the total permanent disability indemnity was adjusted to \$11,576.25, reflecting a lower average weekly earnings calculation than initially awarded.

UZMA XINA KANG vs. TECHNICOLOR, ACE AMERICAN INSURANCE COMPANY, Administered By TRISTAR RISK MANAGEMENT, INC.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the defendant's petition for reconsideration. The defendant challenged the finding that the applicant was 100% disabled due to an admitted industrial wrist injury and her entitlement to temporary disability benefits. The Board found no unreasonable delay by the applicant in scheduling surgery, noting a prior stipulation and medical reports supporting her need for assistance. Therefore, the original Findings and Award granting temporary disability benefits remains in effect.

JEN-KANG YANG vs. UNION BANK OF CALIFORNIA, ZURICH AMERICAN INSURANCE CO.

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition to disqualify Judge Slucter and for automatic reassignment. The Board found that the applicant's petition for disqualification lacked the required affidavit and did not cite statutory grounds applicable to workers' compensation proceedings. The petition for automatic reassignment was denied as untimely because the applicant did not exercise the right at the mandatory settlement conference.
