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 Appeals Board found that defendants are entitled to credit against temporary and permanent disability indemnity for amounts reimbursable to EDD, reversing the WCJ's initial denial based on Labor Code sections 4903(f) and 4904 and case law against double recovery.
The Appeals Board found that Everest shall administer the applicant's medical treatment, amending the decision to clarify this responsibility.
