B. Fairburn — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2023 CanLII 24818

Worker's appeal dismissed; maximum medical recovery achieved without ongoing impairment for left elbow injury.

The worker appealed a Case Manager's decision determining they had achieved maximum medical recovery (MMR) for a compensable left elbow injury (lateral epicondylitis) without an ongoing impairment.

The Appeals Resolution Officer reviewed the medical evidence, including reports from orthopaedic surgeons, and found no objective findings to support an ongoing functional abnormality or loss.

The worker's subjective symptoms were not correlated with objective deficits.

The appeal was dismissed, confirming the worker achieved MMR without an ongoing impairment as of April 22, 2021.
