The opinion
PER CURIAM
Claimant seeks review of a Workers’ Compensation Board order, arguing that he was entitled to testify and submit other evidence at the hearing on his claim for permanent total disability. When the board issued its order, the Supreme Court had not yet decided Koskela v. Willamette Industries, Inc., 331 Or 362 , 15 P3d 548 (2000). In rejecting claimant’s position, the board expressly relied on our decision in that case. See Koskela v. Willamette Industries, Inc., 159 Or App 229 , 978 P2d 1018 (1999). Also, when the board issued its order, we had not yet decided Everett v. SAIF, 179 Or App 112 , 38 P3d 952 (2002), which holds that, as a condition to a claimant’s right to present evidence in a testimonial form at hearing, the claimant must exhaust his or her administrative remedies by presenting the evidence in documentary form at the prior level of review.
Resolution of most of claimant’s arguments will turn on how the Supreme Court’s decision in Koskela applies to the particular issues in dispute. They also may turn on Everett’s application in light of the development of the record at prior levels of review. The other issues that claimant raises may be affected as well if, as claimant argues, he is entitled to present new evidence at the hearing. Because the board did not have the benefit of either the Supreme Court’s decision in Koskela or of our decision in Everett when it issued its order, and because we do not have the benefit of the board’s consideration and application of those precedents in this case, we remand to the board for reconsideration in light of those decisions. ORS 656.298(7); ORS 183.482(8)(a) (on review, this court may “affirm, reverse or remand the order”).
Remanded for reconsideration.
