Catastrophic impairment designation denied; partial approval granted for disputed treatment plans and devices.
The applicant sought a catastrophic impairment designation and approval for various treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not meet the threshold for catastrophic impairment, as he only demonstrated marked impairment in two of the required three areas of function (social functioning and adaptation).
The Tribunal approved several treatment plans, including occupational therapy, psychological therapy, and a mobile phone, finding them reasonable and necessary to address the applicant's accident-related impairments.
Other treatment plans, including those for optometric services and a computer, were denied.
