The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs and various medical benefits. Regarding IRBs, Adjudicator Bickley held that the claimant had failed to prove a substantial inability beyond three months, and also held that the claimant had failed to provide financial records supporting a higher weekly IRB quantum. The adjudicator made an adverse inference due to the claimant’s failure to provide requested financial records. In terms of the medical benefits, Adjudicator Bickley held that the claimant’s non-attendance at two IEs barred her from seeking a chronic pain treatment plan. Two other assessments were approved as being reasonable and necessary. The remaining treatment plans were denied. Finally, Adjudicator Bickley allowed the claimant to add a special award to her claim, but denied entitlement to such an award.
