Dowhower v. WCAB (CAPCO Contracting)

In Dowhower v. Workers' Compensation Appeal Board (CAPCO Contracting), 591 Pa. 476, 919 A.2d 913 (2007), the Supreme Court reaffirmed that holding and ruled that a request for an IRE that an employer made before the expiration of 104 weeks was contrary to the mandatory requirement and that the IRE that resulted from it was therefore void, even though the medical examination occurred after the 104-week period and the claimant did not object at the time.
