Ji Lei Zheng vs. Unifund Assurance Company, 18-009277/AABS
The License Appeal Tribunal (“LAT”) found that the claimant did not discharge his onus to prove that his injuries fell outside of the MIG despite suggestions of chronic pain and psychological impairments. The LAT also found that the claimant had not satisfied his onus to prove that he meets the test for Non-Earner Benefit. The claimant did not suffer from a complete inability to carry on a normal life. His pain did not prevent him from engaging in activities such as his schooling or completing a workday sitting at his desk. Although not required, the claimant failed to produce affidavit or viva voce evidence to speak to the Heath factors and there was no evidence to overcome the difficult test to warrant entitlement to an NEB.
