Where this sits
- Chapter 4.5.
- Division of Workers' Compensation
- Subchapter 2. Workers' Compensation Appeals Board--Rules and Practice Procedure
- Article 11. Evidence
The regulation, as printed
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board may request the Disability Evaluation Unit to prepare a formal rating determination on a form prescribed for that purpose by the Administrative Director. The request may refer to an accompanying medical report or chart for the sole purpose of describing measurable physical elements of the condition that are clearly and exactly identifiable. In every instance the request shall describe the factors of disability in full. The report of the Disability Evaluation Unit in response to the request shall constitute evidence only as to the percentage of the permanent disability based on the factors described, and the report shall not constitute evidence as to the existence of the permanent disability described. The report of the Disability Evaluation Unit shall be filed and served on the parties and shall include or be accompanied by a notice that the case shall be submitted for decision 7 days after service unless written objection is made within that time.
The statute above this rule
Every regulation names the Labor Code it was written under. This is where the two halves of the law meet.

No released decision named this rule
Not a comment on the rule — most of Title 8 never reaches a published panel decision, because most of it is followed without argument. The text above is the state's own.
