Vera v. WCAB
Petition for writ of review after the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed its previous decision, after reconsideration, of award of permanent disability. Charles W. Ellison, Judge. Affirmed.
Daniel Vera petitioned for review of a decision by the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denying his petition for reconsideration of a decision awarding him permanent disability benefits in the amount of $18,823.75. The WCAB's decision was premised on the application of the schedule for rating permanent disabilities that went into effect on January 1, 2005 (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 8, 9805), which Vera argues does not apply to his case.
Court granted review, and we now conclude that the WCAB properly denied the petition for reconsideration because the schedule for rating permanent disabilities that went into effect on January 1, 2005, applies to Vera's case. Accordingly, Court affirm the decision of the WCAB.
