Application for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed due to pre-existing conditions and lack of evidence.
The applicant sought a non-earner benefit and medical and rehabilitation benefits for custom orthotics, chiropractic treatment, and massage therapy following a motor vehicle accident.
The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to prove a complete inability to carry on a normal life, noting that his pre-accident activities were already severely limited by chronic pain and reliance on his wife for activities of daily living.
The adjudicator also dismissed the claims for medical and rehabilitation benefits, finding insufficient medical evidence to prove they were reasonable and necessary, and accepting the respondent's insurance examination evidence.
