CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied reconsideration, affirming the prior award using the 1997 disability schedule. The Board found that the employer provided proper notice under Labor Code section 4061, even though the applicant received Labor Code section 4850 salary continuation benefits instead of traditional temporary disability. This notice requirement, as interpreted by the Board, dictated the application of the older disability rating schedule for pre-2005 injuries.
