Claim for ongoing weekly income benefits dismissed as medical evidence showed applicant could return to part-time work.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits until they were terminated by the insurer.
She applied for arbitration, claiming ongoing entitlement based on an alleged pre-accident offer of full-time employment.
The arbitrator found insufficient evidence of the full-time job offer and assessed her disability based on her part-time role.
Relying on medical evidence that she was fit to return to part-time work, the arbitrator dismissed the claim for ongoing benefits but awarded the applicant her arbitration expenses.
