Before GILLETTE, P.J., Pro Tempore, and VAN HOOMISSEN and YOUNG, JJ.


VAN HOOMISSEN, Judge.

Claimant seeks review of an order of the Workers' Compensation Board that affirmed the referee's order sustaining SAIF's denial of his occupational disease claim for bilateral rotator cuff tendonitis. The issue is compensability. On de novo review, we reverse and remand.

Claimant, age 61 at the time of the hearing, worked for employer on the green chain pulling veneer from 1967 until 1983.
