Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline due to chronic pain syndrome; treatment plans approved.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant demonstrated chronic pain syndrome with functional impairment, warranting removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal approved the disputed treatment plans for physiotherapy and a psychological assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary based on the medical evidence.
The claim for a special award under s. 10 of Reg. 664 was dismissed as the respondent's conduct did not rise to the level of being unreasonable, but interest was awarded on overdue payments.
