FABRICANT, J. The employee appeals from a decision in which an administrative judge denied his claim for ongoing weekly incapacity benefits related to his accepted carpal tunnel syndrome. The employee contends that the judge erred by failing to allow his motion for additional medical evidence on the basis of inadequacy and medical complexity, asserting that the judge mischaracterized the opinion of the § 11A physician, and improperly used the employee’s receipt of short term disability benefits for an unrelated psychiatric condition as a reason to deny weekly benefits. We agree, reverse the decision, and recommit the case for further proceedings.
