CompFox AI Summary
This case involves determining which Permanent Disability Rating Schedule (PDRS) applies to Rebecca Hanson's 2003 industrial injury. The employer argued the 2005 PDRS should apply, reducing her rating from 74% to 42%, as they continued paying temporary disability beyond January 1, 2005. However, the Board found that the employer's October 8, 2003 notice of temporary disability termination, even if later rectified, did not trigger the exception for the 1997 PDRS. Consequently, the Board granted reconsideration, found the 2005 PDRS applicable, and remanded the case for a new rating.
