This case concerns the determination of which permanent disability rating schedule (1997 or 2005) applies to an applicant injured in 2003. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration, rescinded the prior decision, and remanded the case for a new decision applying the 2005 Schedule. The WCAB found the defendant's notice of last temporary disability payment was premature as payments continued past January 1, 2005, thus requiring the 2005 Schedule per controlling precedent.
