CALLIOTTE, J. The self-insurer appeals from a decision ordering it to pay the employee § 34A permanent and total incapacity benefits beginning on April 17, 2015, as well as §§ 13 and 30 benefits, including diagnostic tests, surgeries and psychiatric treatment for injuries of October 29, 2001, September 29, 2003, November 28, 2006, and February 1, 2008. The insurer (Liberty Mutual) also appeals the decision ordering it to pay for any outstanding weekly compensation, and reasonable and necessary1 medical treatment related to a March 9, 1987, industrial injury, as well as an attorney’s fee. We affirm the decision with respect to the self-insurer’s arguments. However, we vacate the decision against Liberty, except with respect to the establishment of liability.
