The applicant requested a reconsideration of a decision denying her non-earner benefits due to her failure to submit a completed OCF-3 disability certificate.

She argued the Tribunal violated procedural fairness and made errors of law and fact in interpreting section 36 of the Schedule and weighing evidence.

The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding no errors of law, fact, or procedural fairness, and noted that dissatisfaction with the result or a desire to re-argue the case are not valid grounds for reconsideration.

The applicant sought non-earner benefits and medical benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant was barred from claiming non-earner benefits because she failed to submit a completed disability certificate supporting her claim, as required by s. 36(2) of the Schedule.

Furthermore, the Tribunal found that the applicant failed to establish that she suffered a complete inability to carry on a normal life, noting that her pre-accident medical records contradicted her testimony regarding her pre-accident activity levels.

The claim for a psychological pre-screening assessment was also dismissed as not reasonable and necessary, and no award or costs were granted.
