The insurer sought reconsideration of the Tribunal’s decision that the claimant was entitled to a chronic pain assessment, arguing that the Tribunal failed to consider if the proposed assessor was properly qualified and failed to apply significant weight to the respondent’s paper review IE report. Adjudicator Grieves dismissed the request for reconsideration. She held that the Tribunal did not make a significant error of law, and that it was not her place on a reconsideration request to question the weight that an adjudicator assigns to the evidence. Adjudicators are entitled to prefer some pieces of evidence over others.
