The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident, including attendant care, housekeeping, and the cost of assessments.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant entitled to a reduced amount of attendant care benefits ($448.49 per month) for feeding, but denied claims for dressing, shaving, mobility, and other items.

The Tribunal also found the applicant entitled to housekeeping benefits, but only payable from September 2022 due to a lack of accounting for prior incurred expenses.

Claims for assessment costs, a special award, and costs were dismissed.

The Tribunal also dismissed a preliminary motion to state a case for contempt regarding the insurer's surveillance.

The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits, including income replacement, housekeeping, and medical benefits.

The insurer terminated benefits, arguing the applicant could return to work and perform housekeeping.

The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain and psychological impairments caused by the accident, rendering her substantially and completely unable to engage in her pre-accident employment as a personal support worker or any suitable alternative employment.

The arbitrator awarded ongoing income replacement benefits, partial housekeeping benefits, and specific medical benefits, while dismissing other claims for lack of evidence.
