HORAN, J. The insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee ongoing § 34 total incapacity and §§ 13 & 30 medical benefits. Because the decision fails to reveal how the employee’s lower back and right leg injury claim yielded an award based, apparently, on sixteen separate diagnoses, and because it does not address whether the insurer’s § 1(7A)1 defense applies to the employee’s myriad medical conditions, we reverse the decision, vacate the benefit award, and recommit the case for further findings of fact.
