Gilliland v. Safeway, Inc. 35 CWCR 271
Sep 14, 2007OUTCOME: Reconsideration was granted, rulling for Applicant
A Board panel has reversed a trial judge's allowance of credit for overpayment of temporary disability in one case against an award of permanent disability in another case. The panel concluded that ... allowance of credit for voluntary payments by the employer is within the Board's discretion and saw no legal authority to support allowance of credit for overpayment of benefits for an injury involving one part of the body against liability for benefits for an unrelated injury to a different body part.
