In re Desmarais

The CAB determined that, although the Workers' Compensation Law entitled the petitioner to attorney's fees and costs associated with litigating the merits of her workers' compensation claim, it did not further entitle her to fees and *219costs incurred in successfully litigating the fee dispute. We reverse and remand.
