CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board reversed a prior finding and ordered that the 1997 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule applies to applicant Moises Lopez's case. This is because the last payment of temporary disability indemnity (or its equivalent, IDL) occurred before January 1, 2005, triggering the requirement for specific notices under Labor Code section 4061. Consequently, the case is remanded for permanent disability to be rated under the older schedule.
