KOZIOL, J. The parties cross-appeal from a hearing decision ordering the self-insurer to pay the employee weekly incapacity benefits consisting of § 34 total incapacity from April 26, 2017 to December 12, 2017, and § 35 partial incapacity benefits from December 13, 2017 and continuing, based on a minimum wage earning capacity. 1 The judge also ordered the self-insurer to pay §§ 13 and 30 medical benefits for treatment of the employee’s left upper extremity, and ordered the self-insurer to credit itself with benefits it paid pursuant to the judge’s October 26, 2017, conference order. (Dec. 10.) Finding no error in the judge’s decision awarding the employee weekly incapacity and medical benefits as a result of his left upper extremity injury, we summarily affirm the decision as to all issues raised by the self-insurer on appeal and all but one of the issues raised by the employee on appeal. We therefore address only the employee’s argument that he is entitled to the payment of interest on the benefits awarded at hearing.
