Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming her physical and psychological impairments removed her from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and entitled her to an income replacement benefit (IRB).
The adjudicator found that the applicant failed to provide compelling evidence of a pre-existing condition, chronic pain, or severe psychological impairment that would take her injuries outside the MIG.
Furthermore, relying on the respondent's medical assessments, the adjudicator concluded that the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of her pre-accident employment.
The application for medical benefits beyond the MIG cap and for an IRB was dismissed.
