Tribunal denies non-earner benefit but grants medical benefits for medical cannabis and osteopathy equipment.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including a non-earner benefit, medical cannabis, and osteopathy treatments (including a treadmill and vaporizer).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal denied the non-earner benefit, finding the applicant was still able to perform many self-care and daily living activities.
However, the Tribunal granted the medical benefits for medical cannabis and osteopathy, finding them reasonable and necessary given the applicant's ongoing pain and the recommendations of his treating practitioners.
Interest on overdue payments was also awarded.
