McCARTHY, J. The self-insurer appeals from an administrative judge's decision finding it liable for the employee's incapacity resulting from his cumulative exposure to various types of ash and metals during the course of his employment as a boilermaker. As we affirm the decision, we address three of the numerous issues raised by the self-insurer: 1) late notice; 2) double recovery; and 3) causal relationship. We summarily affirm the decision as to all other issues raised by the self-insurer.
