United Resin, Inc. v. Los

**What Happened:** This case involved a worker who was receiving total disability benefits after being injured. The worker had signed a supplemental agreement that reduced their benefits from total disability to partial disability payments. This reduction was based on the claim that the worker had returned to work, which turned out to be false. **What the Court Decided:** The court ruled in favor of the worker and reversed an earlier decision by the Board. The court found that the supplemental agreement reducing the worker's disability benefits was "null and void" because it was based on incorrect information - specifically, the false claim that the worker had returned to work. As a result, the court reinstated the worker's full total disability benefits. **Why This Matters for Workers:** This ruling protects workers from having their disability benefits unfairly reduced based on false information. It establishes that agreements to reduce benefits must be based on accurate facts. If an employer or insurance company tries to cut your disability benefits by claiming you've returned to work when you haven't, this case shows that such agreements can be overturned and your full benefits restored.
