The claimant disputed his MIG determination, as well as entitlement to various medical benefits and IRBs. Adjudicator Boyce concluded that the claimant sustained predominantly minor injuries as defined by the SABS that were properly treated within the MIG, noting that the medical evidence relied upon was “incredibly underwhelming”. Adjudicator Boyce further concluded that the claimant was not entitled to IRBs, as he had not demonstrated a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment and had not furnished evidence that his income qualifies under section 4(5) of the SABS. The claimant made no reference to any medical evidence confirming that he was incapable of performing the essential tasks of his pre-accident work, aside from the insurer’s IE reports, which were unhelpful to him as they determined that he did not meet the IRB test. More problematically, the claimant did not produce any financial documentation or even identify for the Tribunal what his pre-accident employment constituted, how many hours he worked per week, or what his tasks were.
