FABRICANT, J. The insurer appeals from the administrative judge's decision awarding § 34 temporary total incapacity benefits from the date of injury, February 2, 2022, to the present and continuing, and §§ 13 and 30 medical benefits for the partial amputation of the employee's left thumb. Of the issues raised on appeal by the insurer, we find merit regarding the error in the period of time awarded for § 34 benefits. Accordingly, for the reasons addressed below, we vacate that portion of the decision awarding § 34 benefits from the date of injury, February 2, 2022, until March 16, 2023, and affirm the remainder of the decision.
