Applicant with catastrophic brain injury awarded attendant care and housekeeping benefits due to motivational limitations.
The applicant was involved in a severe motor vehicle accident resulting in catastrophic impairment, including a brain injury.
He sought attendant care benefits and housekeeping and home maintenance benefits, which the respondent insurer denied.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the applicant was physically capable of performing tasks, his brain injury caused significant emotional and motivational limitations.
The Tribunal concluded that the applicant was entitled to attendant care benefits for comfort, safety, and security, calculated at 240 minutes per week, as well as housekeeping and home maintenance benefits of $100 per week, plus interest on overdue amounts.
