    PER CURIAM
   PER CURIAM

As Wausau Insurance concedes, claimant in this workers’ compensation case is entitled to an award of attorney fees for Wausau’s untimely denial of responsibility for the claim. Spivey v. SAIF, 79 Or App 568, 720 P2d 755 (1986). In all other respects, the Board’s order is affirmed.

Reversed and remanded in part for an award of attorney fees; otherwise affirmed.
