Applicant awarded limited non-earner benefits and psychological services; other treatment plans and special award denied.
The applicant, who sustained a catastrophic impairment including a traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle accident, sought various statutory accident benefits.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to a non-earner benefit for a limited period, as she demonstrated a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The Tribunal also approved a treatment plan for psychological services, finding it reasonable and necessary given her ongoing psychological impairments.
However, claims for a rehabilitation support worker, occupational therapy, kinesiology, and life skills training were dismissed due to insufficient evidence or because similar previously approved funds remained unutilized.
The claim for a special award was dismissed as the insurer did not act in bad faith.
