Applicant awarded $2,724.28 per month in attendant care benefits; claim for 24-7 supervision rejected.
The applicant was injured in a motorcycle accident and sought attendant care benefits (ACBs) of $6,000 per month, claiming a need for 24-7 supervision due to physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments.
The respondent argued the applicant only required just under four hours of care per day.
The Tribunal found the applicant's evidence regarding cognitive decline unreliable and noted limitations in both parties' occupational therapy assessments.
Taking a practical approach based on the evidence, the Tribunal determined the applicant did not require 24-7 supervision but was entitled to ACBs in the amount of $2,724.28 per month.
