FABRICANT, J. The second insurer (Travelers) in this successive insurer case appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge ordered it to pay the employee ongoing partial incapacity benefits stemming from a 2003 work injury. The employee cross-appeals. We summarily affirm the decision with respect to the employee’s appeal. As to Travelers’ appeal, we also affirm the decision. We address its argument regarding the "a major" cause provision of G. L. c. 152, § 1(7A), governing "combination" injuries.1
