Tribunal partially approves treatment plans, granting social service assessment but denying chiropractic and orthopaedic assessments.
The applicant sought medical and rehabilitation benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied treatment and assessment plans for chiropractic services, a social service assessment, and an orthopaedic assessment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the chiropractic services and orthopaedic assessment were reasonable and necessary, largely due to insufficient evidence and an unreliable affidavit from her chiropractor.
However, the Tribunal approved the social service assessment, finding it reasonable and necessary to address the applicant's relationship and job-related issues caused by the accident.
Interest was awarded on the overdue amount, and the respondent's request for costs was denied.
