The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs and interest. The insurer raised a third issue at the hearing, as to whether the claimant had complied with a production order. The claimant argued that she was entitled to IRBs, as she continued to receive treatment for her accident-related injuries. Adjudicator Boyce disagreed, noting that the test for IRBs was different than that for awarding medical benefits. Adjudicator Boyce preferred the evidence of the insurer’s assessors, and denied the claimant’s application for IRBs and interest.
