CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, affirming the administrative law judge's decision to apply the 2005 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule. This decision was based on the finding that the applicant's treating physician's report did not clearly indicate permanent disability, and the employer was not required to issue Labor Code § 4061 notice before January 1, 2005, as temporary disability payments continued past that date. Therefore, the conditions for applying the older 1997 Schedule were not met.
