Application for income replacement benefits dismissed due to late disability certificate and failure to meet substantial inability test.
The applicant sought weekly income replacement benefits (IRBs) following a motor vehicle accident.
The core dispute centered on when the applicant submitted a completed disability certificate (OCF-3) and whether he met the substantial inability test.
The Tribunal found the OCF-3 was not submitted until April 9, 2018, precluding benefits prior to that date.
Furthermore, the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that he suffered a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment as a call centre agent.
The application for IRBs, interest, and an award was dismissed.
