The Applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and received statutory accident benefits.
The Insurer reduced and later terminated his weekly income benefits, alleging an overpayment.
The Applicant sought arbitration, claiming his benefits should be based on a $2,400 cash contract he allegedly performed in the four weeks prior to the accident.
The arbitrator found the Applicant lacked credibility and failed to provide objective evidence of the alleged contract or earnings.
The arbitrator concluded the Applicant fabricated the contract to inflate his benefits, set the weekly income benefit at the minimum rate of $185.60, and denied the Applicant his expenses.
