personal representative of the decedent’s estate. Dalton contends

The issue in this workers’ compensation case is
whether claimant is entitled to benefits for his “combined
condition” claim. Under ORS 656.005(7)(a)(B), a “combined
condition” exists when an “otherwise compensable injury”
combines with a preexisting condition, and the otherwise
compensable injury remains the major contributing cause
of that combined condition.1 In this case
