Per Curiam.
Relators seek review of a unanimous decision of the Workers’ Compensation Board (now the Worker’s Compensation Court of Appeals) reversing the compensation judge’s finding as to causation and awarding the employee benefits for temporary *377total disability and medical expenses. The issue raised on appeal is whether there is substantial evidence to support the finding that the employee’s disabling condition, optic neuritis, was causally related to his employment.
A review of the record reveals that the board had before it credible evidence that the employee’s disability was causally related to his employment. Findings of the board upon questions of fact will not be disturbed unless they are manifestly contrary to the evidence. Grgurich v. Sears, Roebuck & Co. 301 Minn. 291, 223 N. W. 2d 120 (1974).
Respondent is allowed $350 attorneys fees.
Affirmed.
