The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, occupational therapy services, EMG studies, and a neurological assessment.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal denied the attendant care benefits due to a lack of evidence.

The Tribunal partially approved the occupational therapy plan, granting an Obus Forme pillow, a raised toilet seat, and a perching stool, but denied the remaining items and additional therapy sessions.

The claims for EMG studies and a neurological assessment were denied because they were incurred prior to the submission of the treatment plans, contrary to section 38(2) of the Schedule.

The applicant was awarded interest on any overdue benefits.

The applicant sought post-104 income replacement benefits and a physiotherapy treatment plan following a low-speed motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical, psychological, and pain complaints did not render her completely unable to engage in employment for which she is reasonably suited, such as customer service or hairstyling.

The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the respondent's assessors and contemporaneous medical records over the applicant's experts.

The treatment plan was denied as past similar treatments had not been effective.

The application was dismissed.
