Dr. Richard Travaers

The applicant sought a non-earner benefit and funding for chiropractic and acupuncture treatment plans following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to prove a complete inability to carry on a normal life, preferring the respondent's occupational therapy assessment over the applicant's vague evidence regarding pre- and post-accident activities.

The treatment plans were also denied as the applicant failed to provide corroborating medical evidence to establish they were reasonable and necessary.

The Tribunal further held that the respondent's denial letters contained sufficient medical reasons under s. 38(8) of the Schedule.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.
