Citation | 84 Cal. App. 4th 1079, 65 CCC 1253 | |
WCC Citation | WCC 3622000 CA |
Although Martinez [84 Cal. App. 4th 1081] had timely requested VR, the WCAB concluded benefits were barred by the statute of limitations. Martinez maintains that jurisdiction for VR benefits continues once properly established, absent an intervening contrary order by the WCAB. After a petition for reconsideration by Hughes was denied by the WCAB and the decision became final, Martinez requested VR by letter to Hughes dated June 4, 1998. In a letter dated November 24, 1998, Career Works indicated authorization had been given to recontact Martinez regarding VR. Martinez petitioned the WCAB for reconsideration.
