CARROLL, J. The insurer appeals the administrative judge’s award of a closed period of benefits to a homeless man employed in a transitional job and also a beneficiary of a housing program offered by the employer. The insurer contends that the employee should be barred from compensation because his injury, which was the result of an argument with a co-employee, did not arise out of or in the course of his employment and because he engaged in serious and wilful misconduct. In the alternative, the insurer argues that the case should be recommitted because the administrative judge failed to make adequate subsidiary findings of fact. Finding no error, we affirm the decision of the administrative judge.
