CompFox AI Summary
This case involves an applicant who sustained a cumulative trauma injury as a professional football player from 1994-1995, resulting in a 73.1% permanent disability award. The defendant sought reconsideration, arguing the 2005 Permanent Disability Rating Schedule should apply, but the Appeals Board granted reconsideration to determine the correct schedule. The Board found the defendant was not required to provide a section 4061 notice in 1995. The matter is returned to the trial level to assess if pre-2005 medical reports indicated permanent disability, which would exempt the case from the 2005 schedule.
