What the panel ordered
The WCAB grants reconsideration, rescinds the WCJ's decision, and returns the matter for further proceedings and record development.
Applicant seeks reconsideration of a WCJ's Findings of Fact, Award and Order of July 5, 2023, which issued interim awards and credits and deferred some issues for further development.
What was disputed, and how it came out
Each issue the panel decided, with the reasoning it gave. An outcome is what this panel did on this record — not a rule, and not a prediction.
The WCJ's findings on TTD credits and interim permanent disability awards were found to contain errors and premature determinations, leading to rescission and remand for clarification and further development.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
The WCJ's finding of TTD credit for the period 11/22/17 through 11/25/17 contains clerical error and is actually for a different period (Nov 26, 2017 to Mar 17, 2018).
Favours Applicant prevailed
This clerical error and confusion in the credit period led to the decision being rescinded and remanded for clarification.
