CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration to apply the 2005 Schedule for Permanent Disability Ratings instead of the 1997 Schedule. The Board found that no exceptions applied to require the older schedule, as no pre-2005 comprehensive medical-legal reports or treating physician reports indicated permanent disability, and the last temporary disability payment occurred after January 1, 2005. Therefore, the case was returned for a new decision under the 2005 Schedule.
