Application for income replacement benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove substantial or complete inability to work.
The applicant sought an income replacement benefit (IRB) following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefit on the basis that the applicant had returned to his pre-accident employment as a seasonal window cleaner for four months before a regular seasonal layoff.
The Tribunal found the respondent's denial notice complied with the Schedule.
On the merits, the Tribunal held the applicant failed to prove he suffered a substantial inability to perform his essential work tasks within the first 104 weeks, or a complete inability to engage in suitable employment thereafter.
The application was dismissed.
