Application for housekeeping benefits and assessment costs dismissed due to applicant's unreliable and exaggerated evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for housekeeping and home maintenance services, as well as the cost of an assessment, following a motor vehicle accident.
The arbitrator found the applicant's evidence regarding his pre- and post-accident housekeeping activities to be unreliable, inconsistent, and exaggerated.
The arbitrator concluded that the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform his housekeeping tasks and that the claimed expenses were not reasonable or necessary.
The request for the cost of the assessment was also denied as it amounted to a duplication of services.
The application was dismissed.
