Income replacement benefits granted for marble shop worker; medical benefits for physiotherapy and orthotics denied.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought income replacement benefits (IRBs) and medical benefits for physiotherapy and assistive devices.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was substantially unable to perform the essential tasks of his pre-accident employment as a marble shop worker, which involved medium physical demand level work, and granted the IRBs.
However, the Tribunal denied the medical benefits for physiotherapy due to a lack of specificity in the treatment plan, and denied the assistive devices because there was no evidence linking the applicant's foot pathology to the accident.
Interest was awarded on the overdue IRBs.
