The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for rehabilitation support worker services and chiropractic treatment following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found that the rehabilitation support worker plans were not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant's pre-existing impairments were consistent with his post-accident presentation and the goals of the plans had not produced any meaningful change in his activity.

The Tribunal also denied the chiropractic treatment plan, preferring the respondent's orthopedic surgeon's opinion that the accident-related pathology had healed.

The application was dismissed.

The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including increased attendant care benefits, multiple treatment plans, and expenses for eyeglasses.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed all claims.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to provide evidence of incurred past attendant care expenses and preferred the respondent's occupational therapy assessment for ongoing care, concluding that 24/7 care was not justified.

The claims for treatment plans and assessments were dismissed due to a complete lack of supporting evidence, and the claims for eyeglasses were denied because the expenses had not been incurred.
