The claimant sought reconsideration of the Tribunal’s decision regarding certain denied ACBs for feeding, bathroom cleaning, and basic supervisory care. She also sought interest on ACBs from the retroactive date of the Form 1, rather than the date the Form 1 was submitted. Adjudicator Parish granted the reconsideration in relation to the quantum payable for feeding, but denied all other aspects of the reconsideration. The error was based on the Tribunal using 90 minutes as opposed to 150 minutes per day for meal preparation. The denial of other aspects of the Form 1 was unchanged as the Tribunal did not make an error in fact or law. The Tribunal also noted that re-integration into the community was not “basic supervisory care” under the Form 1. Finally, the Tribunal re-iterated that interest was not payable prior to submission of the Form 1 because the insurer would not have been aware of the claimant’s need for attendant care prior to the Form 1.
