LEVINE, J. The insurer appeals the decision of an administrative judge awarding the employee § 34 temporary total incapacity benefits, medical benefits and counsel fees. The insurer contends that the opinion of the § 11A impartial physician falls short of establishing a causal connection between the employee’s medical disability and her work. Because the physician, in the end, failed to express an opinion on causal relationship and because the judge felt there was merit to the employee's claim, we recommit the case for additional medical evidence.
