The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and a psychological condition, as well as approval for a $2,200 psychological assessment.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence of a more than minor injury, chronic pain with functional impairment, or a psychological condition warranting removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment over the applicant's, finding no reliable evidence of an accident-related psychological impairment.

The application was dismissed.
