Applicant remains in Minor Injury Guideline; psychological impairment claim rejected due to lack of corroborating evidence.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant's physical injuries were predominantly minor and that he failed to establish an accident-related psychological impairment warranting removal from the MIG.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment over the applicant's, noting a lack of corroborating medical evidence.
As the applicant remained in the MIG and the funding limit was nearly exhausted, the disputed treatment plans were denied.
