Outcome

The court affirmed the trial court's decision that the Department of Labor and Industries cannot deduct temporary total disability (time loss) benefits from a worker's permanent total disability pension reserve. The statute RCW 51.32.080(4) authorizes deduction only of permanent partial disability payments, not time loss payments.
