The WCJ determined the statute was tolled due to the defendant's failure to provide proper notice of benefits. The defendant argued the applicant was repeatedly notified of time limitations, but the Board adopted the WCJ's credibility determination regarding the defendant's misstatements about permanent disability. A dissenting opinion argued the claim was time-barred, asserting the applicant received timely notices and that the defendant's assessment of no permanent disability was factually supported by medical reports at the time.
