Tribunal partially approves treatment plans and orders a special award for unreasonable denial of psychological assessment.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's denial of treatment plans for assistive devices, a neuropsychological assessment, and physiotherapy.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to a robot vacuum, miscellaneous assistive devices, and occupational therapy, but denied the costs associated with a hot tub.
The Tribunal also approved a psychological assessment and physiotherapy, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the medical evidence.
Furthermore, the Tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a special award of $440 under s. 10 of O. Reg. 664 for unreasonably denying the psychological assessment, along with interest on overdue benefits.
