Mahealani Mahealani — ADJ4250207

Applicant Mahealani, a placement specialist for the City of San Jose, suffered a specific psychiatric injury on 02/26/2004 following a violent assault, with neurological sequelae (Tardive Dyskinesia developed as a compensable consequence of medication). After further development of the medical record, she was awarded 100% permanent total disability. Both parties sought reconsideration: applicant (in pro per) sought credit against the awarded attorney's fee for fees paid in three companion cases and payment of a former attorney's lien; defendant sought credit for temporary and permanent disability indemnity previously paid and challenged the PD start date. The Board adopted the WCJ's reports, denied applicant's requests, and amended the F&A to clarify that PD commences July 21, 2004 (day after last TD payment per Brower) with credit to defendant for indemnity payments previously made, jurisdiction reserved.
