Overview: Fact that workers' compensation benefits claimant suffered work-related injury, including exposure to acrylonitrile, was supported by record; claimant's case did not rest solely on his testimony, and, while there might have been discrepancies in the testimony, there was testimony other than his, as well as medical reports, that supported his claim.
