Claim for attendant care assessment dismissed as applicant failed to prove it was reasonable and necessary.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought $2,200 for an attendant care assessment under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the claim, finding the applicant's occupational therapy report unpersuasive due to its reliance on self-reporting and internal contradictions.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's insurer's examination report, which was based on objective testing and concluded the applicant was independent with her personal care tasks.
As no benefits were payable, the claim for interest was also dismissed.
