Application for post-104-week income replacement benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove complete inability to work.
The applicant was injured in a bicycle accident and received income replacement benefits (IRBs) for 104 weeks.
The insurer terminated the benefits at the 104-week mark based on multidisciplinary assessments concluding she did not suffer a complete inability to engage in employment for which she was reasonably suited.
The applicant sought ongoing IRBs, arguing she could only work part-time.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to rebut the insurer's seven assessments.
The Tribunal noted the applicant's successful transition to part-time work as a baker and yoga instructor demonstrated an ability to engage in suitable employment.
