Application for accident benefits dismissed as injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits on the basis that the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) and the $3,500 funding limit had been exhausted.
The applicant argued her pre-existing conditions, chronic pain syndrome, and psychological impairments warranted removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal found insufficient objective medical evidence to support removal from the MIG, noting the applicant's self-reports were inconsistent with medical records and she returned to work immediately after the accident.
The application was dismissed.
