Arbitrator dismissed claim for ongoing weekly benefits, finding applicant no longer substantially disabled from essential tasks.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits.
The insurer terminated her weekly income benefits, and the applicant applied for arbitration.
The arbitrator found the applicant's testimony regarding her pre-accident health and essential tasks to be unreliable.
Relying on objective medical evidence and reports from rehabilitation facilities, the arbitrator concluded that the applicant was no longer substantially disabled from performing her essential tasks as a homemaker when her benefits were terminated.
The claim for ongoing weekly benefits was dismissed, while a claim for gas expenses was settled during the hearing.
