COSTIGAN, J. The insurer appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge awarded the employee § 34 total incapacity benefits for a 2002 work-related injury. The insurer contends the judge erred in finding causal relationship between the employee’s work injury and her lumbar-related diagnoses and disability, because the adopted medical evidence does not support such a finding. We disagree and affirm the decision.
