Summary:
The issue in this case was whether or not the claimant was entitled to additional weeks of regular benefits. The claimant received 15 weeks of sick benefits, 34 weeks of regular benefits and thought she should be entitled to additional benefits even though she had received eight additional weeks as a LTW. The clear reading of s. 12(2) states that the claimant is entitled to a maximum of 50 weeks and that would be combined special and regular benefits. The claimant then only had one week left. The appeal of the Commission is allowed by the Umpire.
