The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration, rescinding the finding that applicant's claims for industrial injury were barred by the statute of limitations. However, the Board affirmed the administrative law judge's decision that the applicant failed to prove industrial causation for his left eye injury and cumulative injuries to his neck, back, shoulders, and foot. The applicant lacked medical evidence to establish a nexus between the alleged incidents and his disabling conditions. Therefore, the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence for industrial causation.
