The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the judge's finding that the 1997 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule applied. The Board found that Dr. Franzino's report, relied upon by the judge, did not contain an indication of permanent disability, as required for the older schedule to apply under Labor Code section 4660(d). The case was returned for further proceedings to re-evaluate the applicable schedule in light of recent case law.
