Ms. Alena Mandel

The applicant sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal first denied the applicant's request for a sealing order and anonymity, finding the applicant failed to meet the high threshold established in Sherman Estate.

On the merits, the Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to a gym membership, once-weekly personal training, a progress report, and a physiatry assessment, as these were reasonable and necessary to address his ongoing physical and psychological impairments.

The Tribunal denied the remaining claims for 90-minute psychological sessions and occupational therapy assessments.

The applicant's claim for a section 10 award for unreasonable withholding of benefits was also dismissed.
