Excert below.. The ALJ felt the evidence was close, but that the LHWCA's standard for aggravation was minimal and awarded benefits.
The evidence is very close on the issue but given the very minimal aggravation standard of the Act, I find that the record shows that, more likely than not, the trauma of 20 Aug 08 played some role in the aggravation or symptomatizing of Claimant’s cervical condition.
Full Decision
