PER CURIAM.

Claimant seeks review of a Workers' Compensation Board order denying him compensation for his low back condition as either an aggravation or a new injury. We reverse and remand for reinstatement of respondent SAIF Corporation's acceptance of the claim.

The dispositive issue is whether SAIF is estopped from denying acceptance of the claim under Bauman v. SAIF, 295 Or. 788, 670 P.2d 1027
