Adjustable mattress deemed reasonable and necessary for accident-related sleep issues; filing cabinet denied.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for an adjustable mattress and a filing cabinet.
The respondent partially denied the treatment plan.
The Tribunal found that the adjustable mattress was reasonable and necessary to address the applicant's severe sleep disturbances and chronic pain, which were exacerbated by the accident.
However, the Tribunal found that the filing cabinet was not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant already possessed one and failed to demonstrate the necessity of an additional unit.
The applicant was awarded the cost of the mattress and interest on the overdue benefit.
