Dr. McLachlan

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.

The respondent suspended income replacement benefits after the applicant failed to provide requested financial and tax documents.

The Tribunal found that the requested documents were reasonably required under s. 33(1) of the Schedule to verify pre- and post-accident income, and upheld the suspension of benefits.

The Tribunal also approved treatment plans for physiotherapy and partial payment for physiatry and neurological assessments, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the applicant's ongoing chronic pain and concussion symptoms.

The applicant's claim for a special award was dismissed as the respondent's conduct was not unreasonable.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including income replacement benefits (IRBs), chronic pain treatment, and a psychological assessment.

The Tribunal found the claim for the psychological assessment was statute-barred as the applicant failed to dispute the denial within the two-year limitation period.

The claims for pre-104 and post-104 IRBs were dismissed because the applicant returned to his pre-accident employment for eight months post-accident, and the medical evidence did not support his claim of an accident-related fused disc or inability to work.

The claim for chronic pain treatment was also dismissed as not reasonable or necessary based on the respondent's medical assessments.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.
