Homemaker's claim for ongoing weekly accident benefits dismissed as she regained ability to perform household tasks.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received weekly statutory accident benefits from the insurer as a homemaker under section 13 of the Schedule.
The insurer terminated benefits on the basis that the applicant was fit to resume her household duties.
The arbitrator found that the applicant was primarily a homemaker at the time of the accident, but concluded based on medical records, functional abilities evaluations, and surveillance that she no longer suffered a substantial inability to perform her essential daily tasks.
The application for ongoing weekly benefits and a special award was dismissed, though the applicant was awarded her arbitration expenses.
