PATRICIA BRECKENRIDGE, Judge.

The treasurer of the State of Missouri as custodian of the second injury fund ("the fund") appeals four separate decisions of the labor and industrial relations commission that determined the fund was liable for compensation to injured claimants. The fund claims that the commission misinterpreted and misapplied the law in those decisions by combining or "stacking" injuries to meet the statutory thresholds in section 287.220.1
