Application for income replacement benefits dismissed due to insufficient medical evidence and sub-maximal effort during testing.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming he was unable to perform his pre-accident work as a self-employed mason.
The adjudicator dismissed the application, finding insufficient contemporaneous medical evidence to prove a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment.
The adjudicator noted that functional testing was deemed invalid due to the applicant's sub-maximal effort, and no financial documentation was provided to demonstrate an actual loss of income during the disputed period.
