Description

Betty McKean (McKean) appeals from a judgment of the superior court which affirmed a decision and order of the Alaska Workers Compensation Board (Board). The Board held that McKean was precluded from requesting an adjustment of her average weekly wage because the amount of her disability benefits had previously been determined by the Board and therefore the doctrine of res judicata acted to bar further consideration of the issue. The principal question on appeal is whether the Board was correct in concluding that the doctrine of res judicata was applicable in a proceeding to determine permanent total disability where the initial average weekly wage determination was made in a proceeding to determine temporary total disability. We reverse.
