CompFox AI Summary
This case concerns whether the 1997 or 2005 Permanent Disability Schedule applies to an applicant's industrial injuries. The defendant argued the 2005 Schedule should apply, claiming a prior medical report did not establish permanent disability. However, the Board denied reconsideration, finding that the defendant's notice of termination of temporary disability, triggered by a prior medical report deeming the applicant permanent and stationary, satisfied an exception requiring the use of the 1997 Schedule. Additionally, the Board found the workers' compensation judge's interpretation of medical restrictions was accurate.
