The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant claimed entitlement to income replacement benefits (IRBs), various medical assessments, an award, and interest.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to meet his burden to prove that he suffered from chronic pain, a psychological impairment, or a neurological condition that would warrant removal from the MIG, noting a lack of objective medical evidence and rejecting a chiropractor's recommendations for psychological and neurological testing.
Consequently, the claims for the proposed assessments were denied.
The Tribunal also held that the applicant was barred from receiving IRBs due to his failure to comply with section 33 of the Schedule by not providing a requested OCF-3.
Claims for an award and interest were dismissed, and the respondent's request for costs was denied as the applicant's conduct did not amount to serious misconduct.
