29 discrete from the injury or illness for which
30 compensation is claimed. Evidence that an employee
31 has received a prior award for payment of benefits or
32 entered into a prior settlement of any claim arising
33 under this chapter or chapter 85A, 85B, or 86 creates
34 a presumption that the employee has suffered a
35 preexisting work-related injury or illness that is
36 separate and discrete from the injury or illness for
37 which benefits are claimed and that the extent of
38 disability caused by that preexisting injury or
39 illness has been determined. An employee who suffers
40 from a disability caused in part by a preexisting
41 injury or illness that is separate and discrete from
42 the injury or illness for which compensation is
43 claimed, such that the employer is not liable for that
44 portion of the employee's disability, shall receive
45 compensation for the employee's disability at the
46 employee's weekly benefit amount as provided in this
47 section plus an additional ten percent.
