Tribunal awards psychological and chronic pain benefits but denies dental claim due to insufficient causation evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal considered claims for psychological services, dental services, and a chronic pain management program.
The Tribunal awarded the psychological services, finding the hourly rate for psychotherapy reasonable.
The Tribunal also awarded the chronic pain management program, accepting the applicant's expert evidence that treatment was necessary despite the respondent's argument that the applicant did not meet the criteria for chronic pain syndrome.
The claim for dental services was dismissed due to insufficient evidence linking the injuries to the accident.
Interest was awarded on the overdue payments.
