Janice McInroe — ADJ7880197

Applicant Janice McInroe claimed industrial injury while working as a child support officer for the County of Los Angeles. The parties executed Stipulations with Request for Award, which the WCJ approved on July 22, 2021. After approval, defendant discovered that a $581.83 temporary disability overpayment had been mischaracterized as a permanent disability advance on the benefits paid document, and sought reconsideration to set aside the Award. The WCJ recommended denying reconsideration, finding the error was a unilateral mistake. The Board dismissed defendant's petition as premature because there was no evidence in the record supporting defendant's contentions, and returned the matter to the trial level to be treated as a petition to set aside, with a hearing to allow defendant to create an evidentiary record.
