Application for weekly income benefits dismissed; applicant found capable of returning to suitable employment.
The applicant was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits.
The insurer terminated her weekly income benefits after 156 weeks, arguing she no longer met the eligibility test under section 12(5)(b) of the Schedule.
The applicant applied for arbitration, claiming her injuries continuously prevented her from engaging in suitable employment.
The arbitrator dismissed the application, finding that while the applicant suffered residual disabilities from a head injury, she had made a remarkable recovery and was capable of returning to work in the computer field, for which she was reasonably suited by education, training, and experience.
