The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that their injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that the respondent failed to properly deny a treatment plan for a psychological assessment under s. 38(8) of the Schedule, and thus was precluded from relying on the MIG.

The Tribunal found the respondent's denial was compliant, as it clearly cited the MIG as the medical reason for refusal.

The applicant provided no medical evidence to support removal from the MIG or entitlement to the disputed plan.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant sought a non-earner benefit and a physiotherapy treatment plan following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as the medical evidence lacked details regarding her pre-accident activities and their frequency.

The Tribunal also denied the physiotherapy treatment plan, finding no medical evidence corroborating physiological complaints that would warrant the treatment.

The application was dismissed.
