Non-earner benefit denied; applicant's inability to live a normal life stemmed from a prior accident.
The applicant sought a non-earner benefit following a motor vehicle accident in October 2014.
The respondent denied the claim, arguing that any inability to live a normal life was caused by a prior accident in September 2013.
The Tribunal applied the Heath framework and found that the applicant's lifestyle changes were attributable to the 2013 accident, as supported by independent medical examinations and the applicant's own examination under oath.
The application for a non-earner benefit was dismissed.
