Applicant remains subject to the Minor Injury Guideline as she failed to prove functional impairment from chronic pain.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, arguing she should be removed from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain and psychological impairments.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the applicant was diagnosed with chronic pain, she failed to demonstrate the requisite functional impairment, as she continued to work full-time and remained independent in her activities of daily living.
The Tribunal also found insufficient medical evidence to support an accident-related psychological injury.
Consequently, the applicant remained subject to the MIG, and her claims for treatment plans outside the MIG limit, along with claims for interest and an award, were dismissed.
The respondent's request for costs was also denied due to a lack of supporting particulars.
