Court of Appeals of Oregon April 16, 1986, WCB 82-06050, 81-10270; CA A32574 (Consolidated Freightways v. Foushee)

*511

BUTTLER, P. J.

This worker’s compensation case presents the question whether, in order to establish an aggravation claim under ORS 656.273, it is necessary to prove a worsening of the underlying condition. The referee held that claimant had not shown a worsening of the underlying condition and upheld employer’s denial of the claim.
