1Opinion of the Court
REID, Associate Judge:
The issue presented in this case is whether the one year time limit set forth in D.C.Code § 36-324(a) bars intervenor Ry-vette Riehardson-Smith’s claim for a schedule award of permanent partial disability benefits under the District of Columbia Workers’ Compensation Act. A hearing examiner for the Department of Employment Services (“DOES”) concluded that § 36-324(a) (1997) was inapplicable to her claim, and thus, the claim was not time barred. The Director of DOES affirmed. We affirm the Director’s decision, and hold that the one year time limit set forth in § 36-324(a)…
