The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, treatment plans for chiropractic and psychological services, assistive devices, and several assessments.

The Tribunal found that while the applicant demonstrated a need for attendant care benefits during the disputed period, he failed to prove the expenses were incurred, rendering them not payable.

The Tribunal granted the treatment plans for a nutritional assessment and a chronic pain assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the applicant's reported symptoms and medical records.

The remaining claims were dismissed for lack of evidence or because the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction over items not proven to have been submitted to or denied by the insurer.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant argued that accident-related psychological impairments and chronic pain warranted removal from the MIG, and claimed entitlement to a non-earner benefit (NEB) and various treatment plans.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove she suffered from a psychological impairment or chronic pain, noting that her family physician's records did not support her claims and she had returned to work post-accident.

The Tribunal concluded the applicant's injuries were predominantly minor, dismissed the claim for NEB as she did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, and denied the disputed treatment plans and interest.
