Application for catastrophic impairment benefits dismissed as applicant failed to prove marked impairment in social functioning.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits, claiming a catastrophic impairment due to mental and behavioural disorders following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not sustain a marked impairment in social functioning, as his self-reports were inconsistent with direct observations by psychiatrists, family testimony, and surveillance evidence.
Because the applicant could not establish a marked impairment in at least three areas of function, the application was dismissed.
