CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns an applicant who sustained admitted industrial injuries, and the central dispute is which permanent disability rating schedule applies. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the 2005 Schedule should apply instead of the 1997 Schedule used by the trial judge. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, finding that pre-2005 reports did not sufficiently indicate permanent disability to trigger the exception allowing the 1997 Schedule. Consequently, the case was returned to the trial level for permanent disability determination under the 2005 Schedule.
