• statute increasing the discount rate on recoverable workers' compensation awards from four to eight percent is substantive in nature and cannot be applied retroactively because such change works to substantially reduce an employee's recovery
• statutory amendments which effect an increase in the discount rate and place a cap on lump-sum advance payments available to an employee cannot be retroactively applied to reduce a claimant's award as to injuries occurring before the effective date of the amendments
