Tribunal grants psychological treatment benefits but denies occupational therapy and transportation expenses for lack of evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2010 motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's claims for massage therapy were barred by res judicata due to a prior decision.
The Tribunal granted the applicant's claim for psychological treatment, finding it reasonable and necessary based on the treating psychologist's evidence, provided it was incurred before the 10-year anniversary of the accident.
The claims for occupational therapy, assistive devices, and transportation expenses were dismissed for lack of objective evidence.
The Tribunal also denied the applicant's request for an award under Regulation 664, finding the insurer's reliance on an independent examination report was not unreasonable.
