Income replacement benefits denied and repayment ordered due to applicant's lack of credibility and misrepresentations.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming he was substantially unable to perform his pre-accident job as a retail investigator.
The insurer terminated benefits and sought repayment of an overpayment.
The arbitrator dismissed the applicant's claim, finding he lacked credibility and had misrepresented his pre-accident medical condition, the nature of his injuries, and the reasons for leaving his employment.
The arbitrator concluded the applicant left his job due to poor performance rather than accident-related injuries.
The applicant was ordered to repay $1,140.30 in overpaid benefits.
