S. McGillen — Appeals Resolution Officer

Worker v. Employer, 2010 CanLII 26850

Worker granted full loss of earnings benefits due to post-traumatic stress following workplace assault.

A bus driver was assaulted at work and suffered physical injuries and psychological trauma.

The worker sought loss of earnings (LOE) benefits for a period of absence following a brief return to work.

The Appeals Resolution Officer found that the medical evidence, including a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress syndrome and recommendations for rest and counseling, supported total disability during the disputed period.

The worker's objection was allowed, and full LOE benefits were granted.
