Application for statutory accident benefits dismissed due to credibility issues regarding a pre-existing knee impairment.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, occupational therapy, a home modification assessment, and psychological services.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety.
The Tribunal found the applicant's credibility was significantly impacted by his failure to disclose a pre-existing right knee impairment to assessors.
Surveillance evidence and inconsistent self-reports further undermined his claims for attendant care and occupational therapy.
The Tribunal also found the applicant had not utilized previously approved psychological treatment, failing to prove the necessity of additional sessions.
Claims for interest and a special award were consequently dismissed.
