The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration to address the impact of new Labor Code section 4600(h), enacted in 2013. The WCAB determined that the statute applies to this case as no final decision had been reached before its effective date. While acknowledging the employer's liability began on December 26, 2011, the WCAB deferred the issue of whether liability commenced earlier, pending further development of the record on the prescription date.
