N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 223: Modification of board decisions or orders

§ 223. Modification of board decisions or orders. Upon its own motion

or upon the application of any party in interest, the board may at any

time review any decision or order regarding disability benefits and, on

such review, may make a decision ending, diminishing or increasing the

disability benefits previously ordered, and shall state the reason

therefor. Upon the filing of such decision regarding disability

benefits, the chair shall send to each of the parties a copy thereof. No

such review shall affect any previous decision as regards any moneys

regarding disability benefits already paid, except that a decision

increasing the disability benefit rate may be made effective from date

of commencement of disability, and except that, if any part of the

disability benefits due is unpaid, a decision decreasing the disability

benefit rate may be made effective from the commencement of disability,

and any payments made prior thereto in excess of such decreased rate

shall be deducted from future disability benefits in such manner and by

such method as may be determined by the board.
