The insurer requested repayment as a result of IRB payments made in error due to the claimant’s failure to notify the insurer that she had already returned to work. The claimant did not participate in the hearing. Vice Chair Boyce found that the insurer acted diligently upon receipt of information that the claimant was no longer entitled to IRBs and that the notices sent to the claimant requesting repayment met both the procedural and timeline requirements as set out in the SABS. As such, Vice Chair Boyce held that the insurer was entitled to IRB repayment in the amount of $3,257.14 plus interest.
