Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline due to chronic pain syndrome; chronic pain assessment granted.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The insurer denied the claims, arguing the injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant suffered from chronic pain syndrome, removing him from the MIG.
The Tribunal ordered the insurer to pay for a chronic pain assessment but denied the claim for an occupational therapy assessment, as it was not recommended by the applicant's own chronic pain expert.
