Tribunal awards physiotherapy for post-concussion syndrome but denies other treatment plans for lack of medical evidence.
The applicant sought entitlement to statutory accident benefits for various treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was entitled to a treatment plan for physiotherapy services aimed at treating post-concussion syndrome, preferring the evidence of the applicant's assessors who conducted in-person and comprehensive evaluations over the respondent's virtual assessment.
However, the Tribunal dismissed the claims for other physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, exercise therapy, and prescription eyewear, finding insufficient contemporaneous medical evidence to establish that they were reasonable and necessary.
