The Tribunal had awarded the claimant IRBs for a specific quantum and specific time period; the Tribunal also awarded interest on medical benefits. The insurer sought reconsideration, arguing that the decision did not accurately reflect the timeframe for payment of IRBs and when interest became payable. Adjudicator Lester partially granted the reconsideration request. She held that the Tribunal’s decision expressed the IRB timeframe in six different ways, and it was unclear from the decision what the time frame in dispute was. She also held that interest was not payable until medical treatment was incurred. The decision was referred back to the hearing adjudicator to amend the decision in accordance with the reconsideration.
