L.Y.T. v. RBC Insurance Company (17-007019)

The claimant sought entitlement to attendant care benefits and a special award. The claimant claimed that her son resigned from his employment to provide her with attendant care. Adjudicator Sewrattan found that the claimant was not entitled to payment for attendant care as she had not proven that she received attendant care services from her son. Adjudicator Sewrattan found that a letter stating the son quit work to take care of his mother after the accident was not sufficient to prove the claimed benefits were payable as the letter did not prove that the son provided the type of services requested in the claimant’s Form 1. It was not enough that there was evidence the son assisted the claimant in some way after the accident. Adjudicator Sewrattan found that the son’s banking evidence was not credible.
