Application for income replacement benefits dismissed; surveillance and medical evidence showed applicant could work.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming chronic pain prevented him from returning to his pre-accident work as a supervisor and interior finisher.
The respondent insurer terminated benefits after 104 weeks.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform his pre-accident employment, relying on surveillance evidence showing him performing physical work and medical reports indicating normal functioning.
The Tribunal dismissed the application for income replacement benefits, an award for unreasonable withholding, and interest.
