Applicant designated catastrophically impaired due to marked impairment in social functioning following motor vehicle accident.
The applicant, who was 6 years old at the time of the motor vehicle accident, sought a determination of catastrophic impairment under Criterion 8 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule due to mental and behavioural disorders.
The Tribunal found that the applicant sustained a Class 4 marked impairment in the domain of social functioning, relying on the applicant's psychiatric expert who linked the psychological diagnoses to the applicant's avoidance of interpersonal relationships and severe social withdrawal.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for an assessment plan and an OCF-6 invoice as the applicant provided no evidence or submissions to support them.
