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 record lacked sufficient evidence to determine concurrent or separate periods of temporary disability, so the issue was deferred for further development.
From the decision · page 1There is a short period of concurrent temporary disability from the date of the amendment of the cumulative trauma injury (ADJ11292969), 4 June 2020 through the date that the 104 weeks of accumulated Labor Code Section 4850 and temporary disability is reached; thereafter the applicant would be entitled to temporary disability if there is medical support for the same.
