Arbitrator awards interim income replacement benefits and housekeeping expenses pending a valid DAC assessment report.
The applicant was injured in a motorcycle accident and applied for arbitration regarding his income replacement benefits and loss of earning capacity.
The insurer moved to stay the arbitration pending a report from a designated assessment centre (DAC) regarding residual earning capacity.
The applicant opposed the stay and moved for interim benefits, interim expenses, and housekeeping expenses.
The arbitrator declined to stay the arbitration but adjourned the loss of earning capacity issues pending a proper DAC report.
The arbitrator severed the housekeeping claim and awarded the applicant $500 in outstanding housekeeping expenses and $50 per week ongoing.
The arbitrator also ordered the insurer to pay interim income replacement benefits at $292.07 per week and interim disbursements of $1,738.
