WILSON, J. Alba Vinas appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded her a short, closed period of weekly benefits under G.L. c. 152, §34, but denied her claim for continuing benefits. The employee argues that the judge made numerous erroneous and harmful rulings, which demonstrate his bias against her. We do not see any indication of bias. We do agree, however, that the decision is flawed in two respects, and reverse the judge’s rulings that deny the cost for a translator and establish the cut-off date for §34 weekly benefits.
