Applicant denied catastrophic impairment designation but granted post-104-week income replacement benefits due to combined impairments.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2018 motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found the applicant did not sustain a catastrophic impairment under Criterion 8, as his mental and behavioural impairments were moderate (Class 3) rather than marked (Class 4) in the domains of activities of daily living and social functioning.
However, the Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to a post-104-week income replacement benefit, as his combined physical and psychological impairments resulted in a complete inability to engage in suitable employment.
Claims for occupational therapy and attendant care were dismissed as non-catastrophic funding was exhausted.
The applicant was awarded interest on overdue payments but denied a special award.
