Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 8, § 10167 - Informal Ratings
(a) An
informal rating will be prepared by the Disability Evaluation Unit upon the
request of the employee and/or his/her representative and the employer, or at
the request of an Information and Assistance Officer providing the necessary
information. Such requests shall be submitted on forms and in a manner
prescribed by the administrative director. Informal ratings shall be issued
only in those instances where an Application for Adjudication of Claim has not
been filed with the appeals board. All medical reports pertaining to the case
must be submitted with the request.
(b) The Disability Evaluation Unit will issue
the informal rating, which will contain a statement that the informal rating is
not: a) a finding, award, order or decision of the appeals board, and b)
evidence as to the existence of the factors of disability.
(c) Where the informal rating indicates a
life pension, or provision for future medical treatment appears indicated, the
Disability Evaluation Unit will forward a copy of the rating to an Information
and Assistance Officer for the purpose of obtaining a stipulated award, or
other action as may be appropriate.
(d) Self-ratings prepared by the employer are
not acceptable substitutes for informal ratings prepared by the Disability
Evaluation Unit.
