Non-earner benefit denied; one occupational therapy treatment plan approved to address psychological impairments.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including a non-earner benefit and various medical and rehabilitation benefits.
The adjudicator found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as the applicant was able to live independently, care for a child, and maintain relationships.
The claims for most of the medical and rehabilitation benefits were dismissed because they were not reasonable and necessary, largely due to a lack of evidence of cognitive impairment.
However, one treatment plan for occupational therapy services to address psychological impairments and assist the applicant in obtaining a GED was approved.
