Application for non-earner benefits dismissed as applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The applicant sought a non-earner benefit, a special award, and interest following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal applied the test for a complete inability to carry on a normal life, comparing the applicant's pre- and post-accident activities.
Despite some reported pain and adjustments to her routine, the Tribunal found the applicant was still capable of performing most of her pre-accident activities, including working, studying, and personal care.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life and dismissed the application for the non-earner benefit, the special award, and interest.
