Kentucky Revised Statutes Title XXVII. Labor and Human Rights § 342.285.Appeal to Workers' Compensation Board; remanding claim to administrative law judge

(1) An award or order of the administrative law judge as provided in KRS 342.275, if petition for reconsideration is not filed as provided for in KRS 342.281, shall be conclusive and binding as to all questions of fact, but either party may in accordance with administrative regulations promulgated by the commissioner appeal to the Workers' Compensation Board for the review of the order or award.

(2) No new or additional evidence may be introduced before the board except as to the fraud or misconduct of some person engaged in the administration of this chapter and affecting the order, ruling, or award, but the board shall otherwise hear the appeal upon the record as certified by the administrative law judge and shall dispose of the appeal in summary manner. The board shall not substitute its judgment for that of the administrative law judge as to the weight of evidence on questions of fact, its review being limited to determining whether or not:

(3) Within sixty (60) days following the date on which the last appellate brief was filed, the board shall enter its decision affirming, modifying, or setting aside the order, decision, or award, or in its discretion remanding the claim to the administrative law judge for further proceedings in conformity with the direction of the board. The board may, before decision and upon a sufficient showing of fact, remand the claim to the administrative law judge.
