What the panel ordered
The WCAB affirmed the Joint (Amended) Findings and Orders and the Amended Findings and Orders, except it amended them to find that defendant overpaid permanent disability benefits in ADJ580886, that the overpayment amount shall serve as a credit against benefits payable in ADJ2267886, ADJ8376625, and ADJ10228371, corrected the date of injury in ADJ580886 to August 9, 2001, and deferred the issue of the credit amount to be adjusted by the parties with jurisdiction reserved for disputes.
Defendant sought reconsideration of the Joint (Amended) Findings and Orders and the Amended Findings and Orders issued on July 9, 2019, challenging the denial of credit for overpayment of permanent disability benefits in ADJ580886.
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 WCAB found that defendant overpaid permanent disability benefits in ADJ580886 and is entitled to a credit for that overpayment to be applied against benefits payable in other claims due to overlapping symptomatology and treatment, with the credit amount to be adjusted by the parties.
