Application for psychological assessment dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline and limit was exhausted.
The applicant sought a medical and rehabilitation benefit for a psychological assessment following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefit, asserting the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 limit was exhausted.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were sprains and strains falling within the MIG.
The Tribunal rejected the applicant's claims of psychological impairment and chronic pain, finding insufficient medical evidence to support either diagnosis.
As the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor and the MIG limit was exhausted, the application was dismissed.
