You appear to have a good basis to fight the Worker's Comp decision
Before I discuss your question, I must state that we have not met, I do not represent you, I have not reviewed your documents and the facts surrounding your case, and that this response is for informational purposes only, and cannot substitute for a consultation with an attorney.
That being said, you appear to be asking whether you should 'fight' denial of worker's compensation ("WC"). That denial appears to be due to your employer's representation to the WC Board that you were not at work (i.e. not paying you).
If you are being paid more than 30 days after your scheduled pay period, you may have a claim under the Wage Payment and Collection Law. However, a claim for lateness on one payment is most likely not worth making, as it will cost you more than you will get back. Should you not be paid at all, your claim might have more practical benefits for you.
If you have evidence that you were properly at work at the time of the injury, you should fight the WC decision. Your employer's representations to the WC Board appear to be fraudulent, and I recommend that you retain an attorney to appeal the decision. Should you decide to retain an attorney, do not reply to your employer until you have spoken with an attorney.
