ANNUNZIATA, judge.
The deputy commissioner awarded wage and medical benefits to Finch Weston Duffy, Thomas Mortimer Galloway, and Wesley James Hudson (collectively “claimants”), concluding that employer, Commonwealth of Virginia/Department. of State Police (“employer”), failed to rebut the presumption provided claimants by Code § 65.2-402.
