Claim for $722,117.85 in home modifications denied as applicant failed to prove they were reasonable and necessary.
The applicant, who was catastrophically impaired in a motor vehicle accident, sought $722,117.85 for home modifications after moving from his pre-accident rented home in Ontario to a newly purchased home in PEI.
The respondent denied the treatment plan, arguing the move prevented an assessment of the pre-accident home and that the applicant was not entitled to modifications for a home purchased post-accident.
The Tribunal found that while the applicant was not precluded from claiming modifications despite moving, he failed to prove the proposed modifications were reasonable and necessary to reduce or eliminate the effects of his disability.
The application was dismissed.
