FABRICANT, J. The employee appeals from the administrative judge’s order that awarded a closed period of § 34 weekly compensation benefits, § 36 benefits, and §§ 13 and 30 reasonable and related medical expenses, and denied and dismissed claims for psychiatric-based benefits. We agree with the appellant that the judge’s decision is predicated upon the incorrect causation standard as well as on vague and inconsistent findings regarding the employee’s pain. We therefore recommit the case for further findings.
