Section 19 of the Act indicates there is an entitlement to payment where an employee:
“... is incapacitated for work as a result of an injury ...”.
'Injury' may be extended to include any treatments associated with that injury, while 'incapacity' may be interpreted as an inability to engage in work due to absence to attend treatment.
