Summary

Applicant Pamela Bennett sought reconsideration of a WCJ's April 23, 2024 order that summarily granted defendant's petition for credit due to overpayment of temporary disability benefits under Labor Code section 4909, alleging a violation of her due process rights. Applicant also sought to disqualify the WCJ. The Appeals Board found that no evidentiary record had been created on the credit issue—stipulations and issues were not articulated and no evidence was admitted—making it impossible to assess the merits. The Board granted reconsideration, throwing the entire record open, but deferred a final decision on the merits and on the disqualification request pending further review and additional information from the parties.
