OPINION

FIDEL, Judge

¶ 1 The Industrial Commission of Arizona denied Claimant disability and medical compensation for three claims on the statutory grounds of "wilful self-exposure," A.R.S. § 23-901.04, and "unreasonable refusal or neglect to submit to or follow any competent or reasonable surgical treatment or medical aid." A.R.S. § 23-1027. Concluding that the Commission misapplied these statutes, we set its decision aside.
