DOROTHY VANDENBERG vs. KINGS COUNTY

The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to address an internally inconsistent clause in a Stipulated Award. Defendant sought to clarify the commencement date for the State Average Weekly Wage (SAWW) adjustment to the applicant's life pension. The Board construed the ambiguous clause, drafted by the applicant's attorney, in favor of the defendant. Consequently, the SAWW increase will commence in accordance with the *Baker v. WCAB* decision, effective January 1, 2018.
