What the panel ordered
Petition for Reconsideration granted; Findings and Award of January 22, 2024 affirmed except amended to provide defendant credit for permanent disability advances paid
Petition for Reconsideration filed by defendant after Findings and Award of January 22, 2024, challenging credit for permanent disability advances
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 credit for permanent disability advances was not disputed and is allowed as a credit against the permanent disability award, so the WCJ's decision is amended to provide this credit.
From the decision · page 1We have considered the allegations of the Petition for Reconsideration and the contents of the report of the workers' compensation administrative law judge (WCJ) with respect thereto. Based on our review of the record, and for the reasons stated in the WCJ's report, which we adopt and incorporate, we will grant reconsideration, amend the WCJ's decision to provide defendant credit for permanent disability advance (PDA) paid, and otherwise affirm the decision of January 22, 2024.
