Worker granted entitlement for PTSD following workplace assault, but denied entitlement for post-traumatic vision syndrome.
The worker, an educational assistant, was head-butted by a special needs student, sustaining a concussion and psychological injuries.
The worker appealed the Case Manager's decisions denying entitlement for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and post-traumatic vision syndrome.
The Appeals Resolution Officer allowed the appeal in part, granting entitlement for PTSD based on the WSIB Mental Health Specialty Clinic's assessment, finding the accident was objectively traumatic.
However, the claim for post-traumatic vision syndrome was denied, as multiple neurological assessments found no organic basis for a visual system impairment.
No co-appearing lawyers found.
No judges found.
