MAZE-ROTHSTEIN, J. The insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee continuing G.L. c. 152, §34, benefits, commencing on June 6, 1997, for an accepted industrial accident, which occurred on October 1, 1996. The insurer argues that the employee, pro se at hearing, failed to introduce expert medical evidence to support her claim of a causal relationship between her medical disability and the industrial accident. The insurer is correct. We reverse the award of §34 incapacity benefits.
