Review of compensation judgments
Official statutory text
A. A final order for permanent disability is a final
adjudication of all issues pending in the claim unless reserved in
the order or by operation of law. Except where a joint petition
settlement has been approved, the Workers' Compensation Commission
may review any compensation judgment, award, or decision. Such
review may be done at any time within six (6) months from the date
of the last order in which monetary benefits were awarded or active
medical treatment was provided, on the Commission's own motion or on
the application of any party in interest, and unless filed within
such period of time shall be forever barred. On review, the
Commission may make a judgment or award terminating, continuing,
decreasing, or increasing for the future the compensation previously
awarded, subject to the maximum limits provided for in this title.
An order denying an application to reopen a claim shall not extend
the period of time set out in this title for reopening the claim. A
failure to comply with a medical treatment plan ordered by the
Commission shall bar the reopening of a claim.
B. The review and subsequent award shall be made in accordance
with the procedure prescribed in Sections 69 through 78 of this
title. No review shall affect any compensation paid under a prior
order, judgment or award.
C. The Commission may correct any clerical error in any
compensation judgment or award within one (1) year from the date of
its issuance.
D. Aging and the effects of aging on a compensable injury are
not to be considered in determining whether there has been a change
in physical condition. Aging or the effect of aging on a
compensable injury shall not be considered in determining permanent
disability under this section or any other section in this act.
