Application for income replacement benefits dismissed due to lack of objective impairment and symptom magnification.
The applicant sought an income replacement benefit (IRB) following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer suspended the IRB after eight months based on insurer's examinations.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment.
The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the insurer's medical assessors, noting significant symptom magnification, a lack of objective physical findings, and surveillance footage showing the applicant working at another job.
