Application for accident benefits dismissed; applicant remains in MIG and is not entitled to IRB.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and that he did not qualify for income replacement benefits (IRB).
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove he suffered from a psychological condition warranting removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's psychological assessment over the applicant's.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for IRB, noting the applicant returned to work shortly after the accident and failed to submit a disability certificate in a timely manner.
The application was dismissed.
