The claimant sought reconsideration of the Tribunal’s decision denying his entitlement to income replacement benefits. Vice Chair Farlam dismissed the claimant’s reconsideration request, noting that reconsideration is only warranted in cases where an adjudicator has made a significant legal or evidentiary mistake preventing a just outcome, where false evidence has been admitted, or where genuinely new and undiscoverable evidence comes to light after a hearing. Vice Chair Farm reviewed the decision, and was satisfied that the totality of the medical evidence was considered and reasonable conclusions were reached based on the evidence as a whole, including credibility problems inherent in the evidence. Vice Chair Farlam also noted that all “new evidence” relied upon by the claimant on reconsideration existed and could have been obtained prior to the hearing.
