Is a worker entitled to a separate and additional functional impairment award to recognize the ongoing effects of her right frozen shoulder?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from WCAT-2012-00977 (Re), 2012 CanLII 54195 (BC WCAT):
I note that the worker raises the question of whether she should also be entitled to a separate and additional functional impairment award to recognize the ongoing effects of her right frozen shoulder. The worker referenced Jozipovic v. British Columbia (Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal), 2011 BCSC 329 in support of her position that she merits further assessment in this regard.
