Attendant care rates are governed by Form 1, not minimum wage; housekeeping claim statute-barred.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The parties disputed the hourly rate for attendant care benefits and whether the applicant was precluded from claiming housekeeping benefits due to a limitation period.
The arbitrator held that the rate for attendant care benefits is determined by the prevailing Form 1 under the Schedule, not the minimum wage under the Employment Standards Act.
The arbitrator also held that the applicant was precluded from arbitrating the housekeeping benefits claim because he failed to apply for mediation within two years of the insurer's clear and unequivocal denial.
