KOZIOL, J. Asserting multiple claims of error, the self-insurer appeals from a hearing decision ordering it to pay the employee § 34 temporary total incapacity benefits from August 25, 2008, until the exhaustion of those benefits on August 24, 2011, immediately followed by payment of § 34A permanent and total incapacity benefits from August 25, 2011 and continuing; medical benefits "for all respiratory treatment since August 25, 2008 occasioned as a result of the aggravation of the Employee’s pre-existing asthmatic condition and any secondary condition that has occurred from the August 25, 2008 industrial event;" and, an enhanced attorney’s fee in the amount of $22,000.00, awarded sua sponte pursuant to § 13A(5). The self-insurer asserts that the decision requires reversal. We agree.
