Application for accident benefits for chronic pain program and assistive devices dismissed as not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for a chronic pain program and assistive devices (a lawn mower and snow blower) following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the chronic pain program was not reasonable and necessary, relying on insurer's examinations indicating the applicant had reached maximum medical recovery and was an adaptive pain coper.
The Tribunal also denied the assistive devices, noting the applicant's pre-accident inability to perform lawn care and snow removal tasks.
The application was dismissed.
