Application for accident benefits dismissed due to complete lack of objective medical evidence supporting the claims.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits and a physiotherapy treatment plan following a motor vehicle accident.
The adjudicator dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof.
The applicant provided no objective medical evidence, such as clinical notes or an OCF-18, to support her claims.
She relied solely on a psychological report that did not address her ability to work or need for physiotherapy.
Conversely, the respondent's medical examiners opined that the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform her employment tasks and that the treatment was not reasonable and necessary.
