Post-104-week IRB claim dismissed as applicant successfully worked as a restorative aide post-accident.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received income replacement benefits (IRBs) for the first 104 weeks.
She sought post-104-week IRBs, arguing she suffered a complete inability to engage in suitable employment due to cognitive and physical impairments.
The Tribunal found that the applicant had successfully worked as a restorative aide for approximately 10 months post-accident, working full-time and overtime hours.
Relying on this work history and the preferred expert medical and vocational evidence, the Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to engage in suitable employment.
The claims for IRBs, interest, and a special award were dismissed.
