Summary

Roderick Woods sought temporary disability indemnity arising from prostate surgery, but a workers' compensation arbitrator (WCA) denied TD benefits based on Labor Code section 4853 and an August 22, 2017 stipulated agreement made in conjunction with his industrial disability retirement. Applicant petitioned for reconsideration, arguing the arbitrator failed to consider his uncontradicted testimony and that the retirement stipulation does not bar TD entitlement. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration but found it could not conduct meaningful review because the arbitrator never submitted the complete electronic record of proceedings required by WCAB Rule 10990(f)(3). Citing due process principles, the Board rescinded the Findings and Order and returned the matter to the arbitrator for further proceedings, allowing any aggrieved party to seek reconsideration after a new decision issues.
