The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to medical benefits and examination costs for psychological, neurological, and chronic pain assessments.
The respondent denied the claims on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and raised causation issues, attributing her symptoms to a pre-existing multiple sclerosis (MS) condition.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical and psychological complaints were largely attributable to her pre-existing MS, which was not aggravated by the accident.
The Tribunal concluded that the applicant failed to establish a psychological impairment, concussion, or chronic pain that would warrant removal from the MIG.
Consequently, the disputed treatment plans were deemed not reasonable and necessary, and the application was dismissed.
