Applicant awarded limited income replacement and housekeeping benefits for accident-related depression; other claims dismissed.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including income replacement, medical, and housekeeping benefits, which the insurer denied.
The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered from accident-related depression that substantially disabled her from performing the essential tasks of her employment and housekeeping for a limited period.
The applicant was awarded income replacement and housekeeping benefits for the period from March to June 2005, along with interest.
Claims for ongoing income replacement, further medical benefits, examination expenses, and a special award were dismissed.
