The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of a decision that applied the 2005 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule (PDRS) to an applicant's psyche injury. The defendant argued that the older 1997 PDRS should have been used, based on a supposed requirement to issue a Labor Code section 4061 notice before January 1, 2005. However, the Board found no evidence in the record to support the defendant's claim that the notice was required or issued, thus upholding the application of the 2005 PDRS.
