Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant failed to prove injuries warranted removal from the MIG.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied funding for various treatment and assessment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on chronic pain and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found insufficient objective medical evidence to support chronic pain with a functional impairment, noting negative imaging and a section 44 assessment showing full range of motion.
The Tribunal also preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, which found the applicant exaggerated symptoms and did not meet the criteria for a psychological impairment.
The application was dismissed, and the applicant's request for an award was denied.
