The applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits, out-of-pocket expenses, interest, and an award following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found the applicant partially entitled to the balance of three treatment plans for chiropractic and massage therapy services, plus interest, as the medical evidence supported ongoing physical complaints and the need for treatment.

However, the Tribunal denied the claims for psychological assessments and services, orthopaedic shoes, and out-of-pocket expenses due to a lack of supporting evidence and failure to establish statutory entitlement.

The claim for an award under s. 10 of Reg. 664 was also dismissed as the applicant made no submissions on the issue.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the insurer's determination that her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that pre-existing conditions and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG, and claimed entitlement to an income replacement benefit (IRB) and various physiotherapy treatment plans.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence that her pre-existing conditions precluded recovery within the MIG, or that she suffered from chronic pain with functional impairment.

The Tribunal also dismissed the IRB claim as the applicant provided no evidence regarding her inability to perform the essential tasks of her employment.

The application was dismissed.
