Present Value of Award (with Life Pension)
Settlement-style valuation of a PD award as of a valuation date: the remaining PD weeks at Table 1 (3%) plus, for ratings of 70% and above, the life pension deferred until PD ends at Table 2/3 (3%). This is the statutory-table valuation; it does not project SAWW cost-of-living increases after the life pension commences.
Legacy vs current methodology: with COLA left at 0 this is the plain 3%-table valuation (8 CCR 10169). Entering an assumed COLA adds an estimate of the LC 4659(c) increases: none before the life pension starts, the first on the January 1 after it starts (Baker v. WCAB (2011) 52 Cal.4th 434), then one each year, weighted by the official table's own survival and 3% discount. For an explicit-assumption valuation use PV — Future Streams.
