Highlight

Although the law in effect at the time of injury ordinarily governs workers compensation claims, the law in effect at the time of aggravation of a prior work injury governs a reapplication for disability benefits.
To deny aggravation benefits because the employee exceeded work restrictions, the Bureau must prove the claimant knew of the specific work restrictions and intentionally engaged in activities which exceeded those restrictions.
