The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits until the insurer terminated them.

She applied for arbitration, claiming ongoing weekly income benefits and reimbursement for various medical, rehabilitation, and care expenses.

The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain resulting from the accident, which substantially disabled her from performing the essential tasks of her employment as a laboratory manager until August 14, 1992.

After that date, surveillance evidence and functional capacity evaluations demonstrated she was no longer substantially disabled.

The arbitrator awarded weekly income benefits for the closed period, along with specific supplementary medical, rehabilitation, and care expenses, and arbitration expenses.
