Applicant removed from MIG for psychological injury but denied IRBs due to pre-accident resignation.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including income replacement benefits (IRBs), removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG), and various medical and rehabilitation benefits.
The Tribunal found the applicant was not entitled to IRBs because he had quit his job prior to the accident and did not qualify for Employment Insurance due to misreporting income.
The Tribunal removed the applicant from the MIG based on psychological impairments identified by both the applicant's and respondent's assessors.
However, the Tribunal denied the claims for chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture treatment, as well as an x-ray, finding them not reasonable and necessary or barred by timing rules.
The claim for a psychological assessment was granted.
