Tribunal awards partial home modifications for fall risk but denies extensive renovations and special award.
The applicant, who sustained a catastrophic impairment (traumatic brain injury) in a 2012 motor vehicle accident, sought $97,398.08 for home modifications.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was partially entitled to the modifications, specifically bilateral handrails on stairs and releveling of front steps, to address his ongoing intermittent dizziness and fall risk.
Requests for a curb-less shower, deck, and private therapy room were denied as not reasonable or necessary.
The Tribunal awarded interest on overdue benefits but dismissed the applicant's claims for a special award under s. 10 of Reg. 664 and costs under Rule 19.
