However, it was found that the 2007 reforms were not intended to change the Board’s reliance on the claimant’s actual earnings or degree of physical impairment as supported by the medical evidence to determine wage earning capacity for the purposes of WCL 15 (5) (a). In fact, the phrase “loss of wage earning capacity” was added to WCL §15(3)(w) with the specific intention to establish a new duration limit on non-schedule permanent partial disability benefits and was therefore relevant only to the determination of the duration of permanent partial disability benefits at the time of classification. Thus, vocational and functional factors should not be considered to determine the compensation rate for temporary disability.
