Summary

Applicant Lesis Choc filed a Petition for Reconsideration, or alternatively for Removal, challenging a WCJ decision that included a finding on employment, a threshold issue. The Board found the petition timely (contrary to the WCJ), explaining that 25 days plus weekend/holiday extension applied, making the August 30, 2021 filing timely from the August 3, 2021 decision. Because the petition only challenged an interlocutory finding/order (relating to a QME panel request via claim delay notice), the Board applied the removal standard rather than the reconsideration standard. The Board found no significant prejudice or irreparable harm and that reconsideration would be an adequate remedy, and noted that under Chavarria, either party may use a claim delay notice to request a QME panel. The Petition was denied.
