CompFox AI Summary
This case involves a dispute over a 15% increase or decrease in permanent disability payments under Labor Code section 4658(d). Initially, the judge awarded an increase due to the employer's failure to provide timely notice of alternative work. The employer then amended the award, citing a timely notice, which the applicant contested. The Appeals Board granted reconsideration, admitted late evidence of the employer's timely notice and required form, rescinded the judge's vacating order, and reinstated the amended award. However, they modified the award to reflect that the 15% decrease in payments began on the date the offer was made, December 16, 2010.
