The DWC-AD 10133.55 form serves as a crucial document within the realm of workers' compensation in California, specifically designed to facilitate the dispute resolution process when disagreements arise regarding the acceptance of a claim, liability for an injury, the conclusion of temporary total disability (TTD) payments, or the issuance/approval of permanent partial disability (PPD) awards. This form, utilized exclusively by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) and the Administrative Director, encompasses fields that capture essential information such as the employer's and employee's details, insurance or self-insurance certificate name, adjusting agency, and representatives of both parties, among others. It sets a procedural framework for both parties to concisely document their standpoints, summarize their informal efforts to reach a resolution, and officially request the intervention of the Administrative Director. Moreover, it stipulates the mandatory provision of proof of service to ensure that all involved parties are properly notified. The specific inclusion of checkboxes to state whether the claim has been accepted by the employer, if liability has been established, the status of TTD, and the agreement or issuance of a PPD award, alongside the provision for attaching additional pertinent documentation and detailing the nature of the dispute, underscores the exhaustive approach adopted for dispute resolution in workers' compensation cases post-injuries occurring on or after January 1, 2004.
