The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board affirmed a prior decision finding that Bruce McCune sustained a cumulative industrial injury to his bilateral knees. The Board found the claim was not barred as a post-termination claim because pre-termination medical records showed the injury, nor was it time-barred as the applicant demonstrated disability and knowledge of industrial causation within the limitations period. The Board did, however, amend the original award to explicitly state McCune did not sustain injury to his back and lower extremities. Consequently, the applicant is awarded all reasonable and necessary benefits for the knee injury.
