The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including costs for psychological and physical treatment plans.

The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and her policy limits of $3,500 had been exhausted.

The Tribunal found that the applicant had not properly raised the issue of whether she should be removed from the MIG in the dispute.

As the applicant did not dispute that she was being treated within the MIG and her benefits were exhausted, the Tribunal dismissed the claims for treatment plans, an award, and interest.
