Arbitrator awards limited income benefits for post-surgery recovery and specific rehabilitation expenses.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits until the insurer terminated them.
He applied for arbitration seeking ongoing weekly income benefits and supplementary medical and rehabilitation expenses.
The arbitrator found that the applicant was reasonably suited for teaching and thus not entitled to ongoing income benefits under section 12(5)(b), except for a six-month recovery period following back surgery.
The arbitrator also awarded limited case management services and a six-month diet program, but denied a special award, finding the insurer had not unreasonably withheld payments.
