LEVINE, J. Cheril Young appeals from the decision of an administrative judge denying and dismissing her claim for workers’ compensation benefits based on her infection with the Hepatitis C virus. In his decision, the administrative judge found that Ms. Young was totally temporarily incapacitated as a result of the illness but ruled that, as a matter of law, she had failed to satisfy her burden of proving causal relationship. Because the judge erred, we reverse the finding on causal relationship and recommit the case for determination of the duration of incapacity.
