This case involves a workers' compensation claim for a left knee injury where the defendant sought reconsideration of a prior award. The core dispute was the date the applicant received a Notice of Offer of Regular Work, which impacts permanent disability benefits. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) granted reconsideration because the trial judge mistakenly believed the notice was issued in 2010, not 2008. Finding the notice was timely issued within the statutory timeframe, the WCAB rescinded the prior award. The matter is returned to the trial level for further proceedings and a new decision.
