HORAN, J. The insurer appeals from a decision awarding the employee ongoing partial incapacity benefits for a February 4, 2003 industrial accident. The insurer argues the judge failed to properly apply the duly raised provisions of § 1(7A),1 and that reversal of the decision is therefore warranted. We share some of the insurer's concerns, particularly with regard to the decision's lack of sufficient § 1(7A) findings. We do not think, however, that the ambiguous testimony of Dr. Silver is susceptible only to the insurer's interpretation. As a result recommittal, and not reversal, is appropriate.
