The claim was closed and there no appeal of the current combined condition denial. Claimant later filed an “omitted” medical condition claim for “chronic left acromioclavicular sprain; left superior/inferior acromioclavicular instability; left posterior shoulder laxity; left rotator cuff tendinosis; combination of any and all preexisting conditions with the foregoing condition.
