Arbitrator dismisses IRB claim due to fabricated employment and limits medical benefits for failure to attend DAC.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits, non-earner benefits, and medical expenses following a motor vehicle accident.
The arbitrator found that the applicant fabricated his pre-accident employment and was therefore not entitled to income replacement benefits.
The claim for non-earner benefits was dismissed as the applicant failed to prove a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The arbitrator also held that the applicant's failure to attend a Designated Assessment Centre (DAC) barred him from recovering medical expenses incurred after the scheduled assessment date, but he was entitled to reasonable and necessary expenses incurred prior to that date.
