Tribunal denies physiotherapy and attendant care assessment but approves driver evaluation based on psychological evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's denial of treatment plans for physiotherapy, assistive devices, an attendant care assessment, and a driver evaluation.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide objective medical evidence to establish that the physiotherapy, assistive devices, and attendant care assessment were reasonable and necessary, noting the respondent's unchallenged orthopaedic assessment.
However, the Tribunal granted the treatment plan for a driver evaluation, as it was specifically recommended by the applicant's psychological assessors and uncontradicted by the respondent.
The applicant was also awarded interest on the overdue payment.
