Pre-104 week IRB granted but post-104 week IRB denied due to capacity for alternative employment.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits (IRBs) following a 2014 motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found the applicant met the test for a pre-104 week IRB, as her physical and psychological impairments caused a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment as an educational assistant.
However, the claim for a post-104 week IRB was dismissed.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to engage in any employment for which she was reasonably suited, noting her volunteer work in a retail setting, her training as a wedding planner, and medical evidence indicating improvement in her condition.
Claims for a special award were dismissed, but interest was awarded on overdue pre-104 week benefits.
