Claim for weekly income benefits dismissed as applicant did not suffer substantial inability to perform essential tasks.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly income benefits until the insurer terminated them, asserting she no longer qualified.
The applicant sought arbitration to reinstate the benefits under section 13(1) of the No-Fault Benefits Schedule.
The arbitrator found that while the applicant continued to suffer pain and her ability to perform certain activities was impaired, she did not suffer a "substantial inability" to perform her "essential tasks" as she continued to perform nearly all her previous activities.
The claim for further weekly income benefits was dismissed, but the applicant was awarded her arbitration expenses and the insurer agreed to pay $513.00 in supplementary medical and rehabilitation expenses.
