The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, specifically claiming entitlement to physiotherapy services, a physiatry assessment, and a neurological assessment.

The respondent denied the benefits, relying on s. 44 assessments that concluded the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.

The Tribunal found the physiotherapy and physiatry assessment reasonable and necessary based on consistent clinical records from the applicant's treating practitioners.

However, the Tribunal denied the neurological assessment, noting a prior normal neurological consultation and a lack of compelling evidence of neurological impairment.

The applicant was awarded interest on overdue benefits but denied a special award under s. 10 of Reg. 664.

The applicant sought accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming her injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to a pre-existing condition and chronic pain.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found insufficient objective medical evidence to support a pre-existing condition or chronic pain with functional impairment.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, subject to the MIG and its $3,500 funding limit.

Consequently, the claims for chiropractic treatment plans, interest, and an award for unreasonable delay were dismissed.
