The claimant sought entitlement to NEBs and interest. The insurer relied on the opinions of two IE assessors when concluding that the claimant did not qualify for NEBs. The claimant argued that the denial was invalid, as the assessors did not have an opportunity to review the claimant’s disability certificate. Adjudicator Watt disagreed with the claimant, noting that there was no requirement in the SABS to submit a disability certificate to an assessor. Upon reviewing the medical evidence submitted, Adjudicator Watt preferred the opinions of the insurer’s assessors and determined that the claimant was not entitled to NEBs or interest.
