This case concerns whether the old or new permanent disability rating schedule applies. The Board affirmed the WCJ's decision to use the old schedule, finding that medical reports in 2004 indicated permanent disability, even if not explicitly stating the condition was permanent and stationary. This ruling aligns with the more recent Zavala precedent, superseding the stricter interpretation in Vera.
