Application for non-earner benefits and removal from the Minor Injury Guideline dismissed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to a non-earner benefit, removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG), and funding for chiropractic and psychological treatment plans.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, preferring the respondent's multidisciplinary medical assessments over the applicant's evidence.
The Tribunal also concluded that the applicant failed to establish a psychological impairment warranting removal from the MIG.
As the applicant remained subject to the MIG and the limits were exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were not payable, and the application was dismissed.
