Section 121(2)(b) of the Accident Compensation Act 1972 is a reimbursement provision that requires evidence of identifiable, actual and reasonable pecuniary expenses or losses actually incurred; compensation cannot be awarded on the basis of retrospective estimates of gratuitous care absent proof of monetary loss, and the Appeal Authority erred in awarding compensation on that basis.
