Application for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove complete inability or necessity.
The applicant was involved in a motor vehicle accident and sought non-earner benefits and medical benefits for chiropractic treatment under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The respondent denied the benefits.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as she was still able to engage in substantially all of her pre-accident activities, particularly caring for her children.
The Tribunal also found that the proposed treatment plans were not reasonable and necessary, as the applicant had reached maximal recovery from her accident-related injuries and the treatments appeared to be directed at a transient ischemic attack that was not caused by the accident.
The application was dismissed.
