Caregiving and housekeeping benefits denied due to lack of credibility; medical rehabilitation benefits awarded.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for caregiving, housekeeping, and medical rehabilitation following a motor vehicle accident.
The arbitrator dismissed the claims for caregiving and housekeeping benefits, finding the applicant's evidence lacked credibility and was inconsistent with his return to full-time work and school.
However, the arbitrator allowed the claim for medical and rehabilitation benefits in the amount of $5,067, finding that the chiropractic and massage treatments provided reasonable pain relief and assisted the applicant's functional improvement.
