The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs beyond the date of termination. The insurer argued that the claimant failed to apply to the LAT before the limitation period expired. Adjudicator Gottfried rejected the insurer’s submissions and held that the claimant applied to the LAT within 90 days after FSCO Mediator’s Report. However, she denied the claimant any further IRBs. She held that the claimant’s credibility was suspect, and that he had returned to work in some capacity following the accident up until he was injured in a subsequent accident. She also accepted the opinions of the IE assessors that the claimant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform his pre-accident employment.
