Claims for housekeeping and rent differential dismissed as expenses were not incurred or proven necessary.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and deemed catastrophically impaired.
He sought ongoing statutory accident benefits for housekeeping and home maintenance, as well as a rent differential to move to a larger apartment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the applicant suffered a substantial inability to perform his pre-accident housekeeping tasks, he failed to prove that the claimed housekeeping expenses were actually incurred.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for a rent differential, finding insufficient evidence that moving to a larger apartment was a reasonable and necessary medical or rehabilitation expense.
Claims for interest and an award for unreasonable delay were consequently dismissed.
