CompFox AI Summary
The Board granted reconsideration to address the proper workers' compensation permanent disability rating schedule. The defendant argued the WCJ erred in applying the 1997 Schedule, contending the 2005 Schedule or, alternatively, the 1978 Schedule should apply. The WCJ's reliance on Labor Code § 4061 exceptions was found to be flawed, as the statute was not in effect during the applicant's period of temporary disability. The case was returned to the trial level for a determination on the correct schedule, considering the effective dates of relevant statutes and the existence of any pre-2005 medical reports indicating permanent disability.
