Case Name | Sabath v. WCAB | |
---|---|---|
Date | 10/16/1998 | |
Note | Salary received in lieu of disability benefits is not credited toward cap on voc. rehab. benefits | |
Citation | 67 Cal.App.4th 286 | |
WCC Citation | WCC 26781998 CA |
We will conclude the WCAB decision is not correct and shall reverse the order. This did not shorten the period Sabath received his full salary since the maximum entitlement of one year ended before the cap on vocational benefits had been expended. It did reduce the dollar amount of vocational benefits that Sabath could subsequently receive. Finding this unacceptable, Sabath filed a request for dispute resolution with the rehabilitation unit of the division of workers' compensation. Sabath makes no claim that he is entitled to both a full salary and a maintenance allowance.
