CompFox AI Summary
The applicant sought reconsideration of a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) decision that applied the revised permanent disability rating schedule to her claim. The WCAB denied reconsideration, affirming the WCJ's finding that the revised schedule applied because the employer did not have a duty to issue a Labor Code §4061 notice until the last payment of temporary disability benefits was made, which occurred after January 1, 2005. Therefore, the applicant's argument that the prior rating schedule should apply due to a perceived premature §4061 notice obligation was rejected.
