What the panel ordered
Petition for reconsideration denied.
Applicant seeks reconsideration of the Findings and Order issued on October 25, 2024, by the WCJ, which found defendant entitled to credit for permanent disability advances paid after signing but before approval of the C&R.
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 C&R form language allowed credit for PDAs issued after June 16, 2022, and the defendant was entitled to credit for PDAs paid after that date up to settlement approval.
The facts that decided it
What the panel treated as outcome-determinative, and which side it favoured.
The C&R contained a clause allowing credit for PDAs issued after June 16, 2022.
Favours Defendant prevailed
This clause entitled defendant to credit for PDAs paid after that date up to settlement approval, supporting the denial of reconsideration.
