Catastrophic impairment designation denied; psychological and occupational therapy treatment plans approved as reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought a determination of catastrophic impairment and entitlement to various medical, rehabilitation, and transportation benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant did not sustain a catastrophic impairment under either Criterion 7 (55% Whole Person Impairment) or Criterion 8 (mental or behavioural disorder), preferring the respondent's medical evidence which indicated lower impairment ratings.
However, the Tribunal granted the applicant's claims for a psychological treatment plan and an occupational therapy assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary.
The claims for transportation expenses were dismissed for lack of evidence.
