Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed; insurer's claim for repayment of medical benefits also dismissed.
The applicant was injured while a passenger on a bus and received statutory accident benefits.
The insurer terminated weekly income benefits and supplementary medical benefits in 1995.
The applicant sought reinstatement of weekly income benefits, and the insurer sought repayment of medical benefits paid for psychological treatment.
The arbitrator found that the applicant was physically and psychologically capable of returning to work by April 1995, dismissing the claim for ongoing weekly income benefits.
The arbitrator also dismissed the insurer's claim for repayment, finding the psychological treatment received prior to termination was reasonable and beneficial.
