Application for catastrophic impairment and accident benefits dismissed due to pre-existing severe mental health conditions.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2019 motor vehicle accident, claiming catastrophic impairment due to mental and behavioural disorders.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's pre-existing severe depression and anxiety were the primary causes of her impairments, and that her condition did not significantly worsen post-accident.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims for catastrophic impairment, attendant care benefits, and disputed treatment plans, finding the applicant failed to meet her burden of proof.
Claims for an award for unreasonable delay and interest were also dismissed.
