Chiropractic treatment plans approved and 5% award granted for insurer's unreasonable delay in paying benefits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for chiropractic services and a social work assessment following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found the chiropractic treatment plans reasonable and necessary, preferring the evidence of the applicant's specialists over the respondent's general physicians.
The claim for a social work assessment was dismissed due to a lack of supporting evidence.
The Tribunal also granted an award of 5% under s. 10 of Regulation 664, finding that the respondent unreasonably delayed the approval and payment of benefits despite receiving corroborative medical evidence.
