The applicant sought a determination of catastrophic impairment and entitlement to various treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found that the applicant did not meet the 55% whole person impairment threshold under either Criterion 6 (physical) or Criterion 7 (combined physical and psychological), assessing his physical impairment at 37% and combined impairment at 43%.

The Tribunal denied the claim for outstanding catastrophic impairment assessments, finding them duplicative.

However, the Tribunal granted the cost of a NuStep cross trainer, finding it reasonable and necessary for the applicant's rehabilitation.

The Tribunal also granted the cost of a neurovisual assessment because the insurer's denial notice failed to comply with the requirements of s. 38(8) of the Schedule.

The applicant's request for costs was dismissed.
