Applicant's claims for benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought medical benefits and an income replacement benefit (IRB).
The respondent denied the benefits, placing the applicant in the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and that he failed to provide compelling medical evidence of a psychological impairment or chronic pain that would remove him from the MIG.
As the MIG limits were exhausted, the psychological assessment was not payable.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for an IRB, finding the applicant failed to prove a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of his employment.
