Application for non-earner benefits and catastrophic impairment assessment dismissed due to lack of credible medical evidence.
The Applicant, a pedestrian struck by a vehicle, sought non-earner benefits and funding for a catastrophic impairment assessment from her insurer.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding the Applicant failed to prove she suffered a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The Tribunal gave no weight to the Applicant's medical reports due to inconsistencies and failure to address pre-existing conditions from a prior accident.
Conversely, the insurer's examination reports, which found no residual impairment, were accepted.
The request for a catastrophic impairment assessment was also denied as not reasonable and necessary.
