Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline due to inconsistent self-reporting.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied the claims on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued she should be removed from the MIG due to psychological injuries, a pre-existing psychological condition, and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant's claims of psychological injury and chronic pain were not credible due to significant inconsistencies in her self-reporting to various medical assessors.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and governed by the MIG, dismissing her application for additional medical benefits and interest.
