Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
sickness benefits  weight of medical evidence 

Summary:

I cannot see how the cursory examination by the independent medical examiner, and his conclusion, can stand against the much better informed determination of the claimant's doctor. [p. 6]


Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
sickness benefits  yardsticks 

Summary:

CUB 6279 quoted. Here the CEIC doctor uses exactly the same terminology namely, "Although statistics cannot be applied to an individual, CEIC on average pays 7 weeks for this illness." This is irrelevant to the case and should not have been used as partof the appeal. [p. 8-9]
