Application for income replacement benefits dismissed due to lack of objective medical evidence of substantial inability to work.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits (IRBs) following a motor vehicle accident, claiming a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident self-employment in renovation and landscaping.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide objective medical evidence demonstrating that his accident-related impairments prevented him from working.
The medical evidence primarily showed minor contusions and soft tissue injuries, and an insurer's examination concluded he did not suffer a substantial inability to work.
The application for IRBs, interest, and an award was dismissed.
