The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs and various medical benefits for chiropractic services. Adjudicator Watt held that the claimant was not entitled to IRBs or the medical benefits in dispute. The claimant suffered soft-tissue injuries and claimed he could not complete computer work for more than 30 minutes and his headaches caused dizziness and poor concentration. The claimant continued to play hockey, baseball and floor hockey 2-3 times per week. The claimant ran an eBay and Amazon store buying and selling collectibles. He was unable to provide any supporting documentation to verify his income. IE assessors found that the claimant did not meet the IRBs test. Another IE assessor found that chiropractic treatment was not reasonable and necessary as the claimant had achieved maximum medical benefit from chiropractic services. The adjudicator focused on the fact that the claimant could engage in physical sports without complaints of headaches and neck pain.
