Applicant awarded initial physiotherapy and one attendant care assessment; claims for IRBs and ongoing treatment dismissed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to income replacement benefits (IRBs), medical benefits for physiotherapy, and the cost of attendant care assessments.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the claim for IRBs, finding no evidence of a substantial inability to perform the essential tasks of employment.
The Tribunal granted the cost of the initial physiotherapy treatment plan incurred during the acute phase of recovery, but denied subsequent plans as the applicant had reached maximum medical recovery from minor soft tissue injuries.
The Tribunal also awarded the cost of a single attendant care assessment, rejecting a retroactive assessment as meaningless and duplicative.
