MCCARTHY, J. An April 13, 1999 hearing judge’s decision awarded the employee benefits under §§ 34A and 36. The decision did not explicitly award § 50 interest. The insurer filed a timely appeal to the reviewing board and, while the appeal was pending, paid the awarded benefits without interest on June 7, 1999. On or about May 24, 2000, the employee filed a claim seeking § 50 interest.1 On July 19, 2000, the reviewing board summarily affirmed the award of weekly and specific benefits in the case in chief. The claim for § 50 interest then came on for hearing before the same judge on stipulated facts and on October 16, 2001, the judge filed his decision denying and dismissing the employee’s claim for interest.2
