The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits for a psychological assessment, pre-screening, and psychological treatment.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that the respondent's denial notices were procedurally defective under s. 38(8) of the Schedule.
The Tribunal found that the respondent's denial notices were sufficient and timely.
The Tribunal concluded that the applicant failed to meet his burden of proving that his injuries warranted removal from the MIG or that the proposed treatment plans were reasonable and necessary.
The application was dismissed.
