The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration of an award finding a $2%$ permanent disability rating for an orange picker injured in 2004. The Board held that the revised rating schedule applied as there was no pre-January 1, 2005 medical report indicating permanent disability, and the parties stipulated to temporary disability payments which negated the notice exception. The Board relied on the published appellate decision in Costco Wholesale Corp. v. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (Chavez).
