This case involves an applicant seeking reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board decision. The Board granted reconsideration to correct a clerical error, amending the original award to clearly state the applicant's permanent disability rating is 83%. However, the Board affirmed the WCJ's finding that the applicant's claim for internal injury is barred by the statute of limitations. The applicant argued the statute should not apply as the internal injuries were a consequence of the original injury and that defendant should be estopped from pleading the statute.
