BWC
Adopts New Permanent Partial Forms and Procedure
The BWC has combined the C92
and C92A forms into one new C92 form, which is used to request a permanent partial award. The old C92 form was used to apply for the initial
permanent partial award. The old C92A form was used to apply for an
increase in the permanent partial award.
The new C92 form is used for
all permanent partial applications.
If the C92 seeks an increase
in the permanent partial award, the BWC may conduct either a file
review or a medical exam.
Therefore, the BWC is
requiring that an application for an increase in the permanent partial
award where no new conditions have been allowed must include a medical
report to support the increase.
If a new condition has been
allowed, no medical report is required with an application for an
increase in the permanent partial award, and the BWC will schedule an
examination.
