Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline for depression but denied income replacement benefits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's psychological impairment (depression) removed her from the Minor Injury Guideline.
However, the Tribunal dismissed her claim for an income replacement benefit, finding that her gynecological issues were pre-existing and not caused by the accident, and that her musculoskeletal and psychological impairments did not result in a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment as an Uber Eats driver.
Claims for an attendant care assessment and a special award were also dismissed.
