Application for accident benefits dismissed as applicant's own testimony contradicted her assessors' reports of severe impairment.
The applicant sought attendant care benefits and several treatment plans for psychological, chiropractic, and occupational therapy services following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant failed to prove the benefits were reasonable and necessary.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's insurer's examination reports over the applicant's medical evidence, noting significant contradictions between the applicant's own examination under oath testimony—where she reported being largely independent and emotionally well—and the severe impairments documented by her assessors.
