M.K. v. Dumfries Mutual Insurance Company (16-000501)

The claimant sought IRBs and removal from the MIG. Adjudicator Theoharis rejected the claimant’s case. She held that the claimant did not suffer impairments that would entitle her to IRBs or removal from the MIG. In particular, Adjudicator Theoharis relied upon surveillance showing the claimant engaging in multiple activities she said she could not do. Adjudicator Theoharis placed no weight on the s. 25 psychological report, as it took the claimant’s self-reporting at her own word. There was also no mention of psychological difficulties in the claimant’s family doctor’s notes.
