*1042PICKETT, J.
|2The claimant, Gwendolyn Rochester, appeals, as erroneously low, a ruling by a Workers’ Compensation Judge (WCJ) setting her temporary total disability weekly compensation rate at $199.19 and the award of only $4,000.00 in attorney’s fees. Additionally, the claimant seeks an award of attorney’s fees for prosecution of this appeal. We affirm the weekly compensation rate awarded, increase the award of attorney’s fees at the trial level to $7,000.00 and award the claimant $3,000.00 in attorney’s fees for prosecution of this appeal.
