The claimant sought entitlement to NEBs. Adjudicator Boyce held that the claimant did not demonstrate a complete inability to live a normal life. Adjudicator Boyce held that while the claimant’s pain affected her activities of daily living, it did not prevent her from independent self-care or complete engagement in her daily activities. Adjudicator Boyce noted that the claimant reported that she performed some housekeeping, was independent with dressing, toileting, and showering, went grocery shopping, and drove local distances. As such, Adjudicator Boyce dismissed the claimant’s claim for NEBs.
