Post-104 week IRB denied; applicant's undisclosed post-accident business activities contradicted claims of complete inability to work.
The applicant sought post-104 week income replacement benefits (IRB) following a motor vehicle accident, claiming a complete inability to engage in any employment due to physical, psychological, and cognitive injuries.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant failed to meet his burden of proof.
The adjudicator preferred the evidence of the respondent's medical assessors, noting that the applicant had engaged in undisclosed post-accident employment, including selling insurance and acting as a director for several corporations.
The applicant's failure to disclose these activities to his own treatment providers undermined their opinions.
Claims for interest and a special award were also dismissed.
