The applicant sought reconsideration of a WCJ's decision to rate her permanent disability using the 2005 Schedule, arguing the older 1997 Schedule should apply. The Board denied reconsideration because the applicant's pre-2005 medical reports did not indicate her disability had reached permanent and stationary status, a requirement established in Vera v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. Therefore, the 2005 Schedule was correctly applied.
