Application for catastrophic impairment and accident benefits dismissed due to lack of causation and pre-existing conditions.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2019 motor vehicle accident, claiming catastrophic impairment due to a mental and behavioural disorder, along with attendant care, home modifications, and other medical benefits.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was not a credible witness and failed to establish that her impairments were caused by the accident, noting significant pre-existing physical and psychological conditions.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not meet the criteria for catastrophic impairment and dismissed all claims for disputed benefits, finding them either not reasonable and necessary, duplicative, or unrelated to the accident.
