Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline due to psychological impairments; partial treatment plans and assessments awarded.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The insurer denied benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found the applicant demonstrated psychological impairments warranting removal from the MIG.
The applicant was awarded several physiotherapy treatment plans, a psychological assessment, and a chronic pain assessment, as well as interest on overdue payments.
However, claims for a non-earner benefit, orthopaedic, neurological, and neuropsychological assessments, and a section 10 award for unreasonable delay were dismissed.
