LEVINE, J. The self-insurer appeals the decision of an administrative judge ordering the self-insurer, rather than the successive insurer, to pay benefits to the employee. The self-insurer argues that the judge failed to properly apply the successive insurer rule and that the judge’s finding that the employee did not incur a new injury in his subsequent employment is inconsistent with his finding that the employee’s subsequent work activities worsened his condition. We disagree with the self-insurer and affirm the decision.
