Claim for weekly income benefits dismissed and repayment ordered due to applicant's fraudulent conduct and lack of credibility.
The Applicant sought weekly income benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Insurer terminated benefits, arguing the Applicant was no longer substantially unable to perform his employment tasks.
The Arbitrator found the Applicant to be highly unreliable, noting he had worked as a meat cutter for six weeks following the accident while claiming total disability, and had fabricated employment records.
Relying on the objective medical evidence and the Applicant's extensive pre-existing back issues, the Arbitrator concluded the Applicant was not significantly injured in the accident and was never entitled to the benefits received.
The Applicant was ordered to repay $25,660.07 to the Insurer.
