Mr. Mohan Iyengar

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming she sustained a catastrophic impairment due to mental and behavioural disorders.

The Tribunal found the applicant met the catastrophic impairment threshold under Criterion 8, demonstrating marked impairments in activities of daily living, social functioning, and adaptation.

The Tribunal preferred the evidence of the applicant's assessors, noting the respondent's assessors failed to adequately consider the applicant's reliance on her partner and conducted flawed situational assessments.

The Tribunal awarded the cost of an in-home assessment but denied the claim for attendant care benefits, finding the proposed hours were overestimated and included tasks the applicant could perform independently.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including a non-earner benefit, various treatment plans for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and dental services, as well as an ambulance fee, interest, and an award for unreasonable delay.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety.

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to demonstrate a complete inability to carry on a normal life, relying on insurer examination reports indicating the applicant was independent in daily activities.

The Tribunal also found the applicant failed to prove the disputed treatment plans were reasonable and necessary, as the applicant did not provide the actual plans or compelling evidence to counter the respondent's medical assessments.

Claims for the ambulance fee, interest, and a special award were similarly dismissed.
