Petition for Reconsideration of the June 7, 2023 Findings of Fact, Award, Order granted
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 Board found that the applicant's retirement did not preclude entitlement to temporary disability benefits because the WCJ's credibility determination against the applicant was not supported by substantial evidence, and the applicant testified credibly that his retirement was due in part to his industrial injury.
