Tribunal awards assistive devices but denies architectural drawings and further assessment costs for home modifications.
The applicant, who was catastrophically impaired following a motor vehicle accident, sought statutory accident benefits for home modifications and assistive devices.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was entitled to $8,960.22 for assistive devices, including a wheelchair and a specialized mattress, as they were reasonable and necessary to improve her independence and manage pain.
However, claims for a housing assessment balance and architectural drawings were dismissed, as the insurer had already paid the maximum allowable for the assessment, and the drawings were premature without an approved home modification plan.
The claim for an award under O. Reg. 664 was also dismissed.
