Applicant's injuries remained within the Minor Injury Guideline; claims for disputed treatment plans and award dismissed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued that chronic pain and psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to demonstrate a psychological impairment or chronic pain with functional impairment, placing significant weight on the respondent's psychological assessment which found only subclinical symptoms.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, the disputed treatment plans were not payable.
Claims for an award for unreasonable delay and interest were also dismissed.
