Reconsideration request dismissed; initial decision denying catastrophic impairment and attendant care benefits provided adequate reasons.
The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision that found she was not catastrophically impaired and not entitled to attendant care benefits or a special award.
The applicant argued the initial decision lacked adequate reasons, constituting a breach of procedural fairness and an error of law.
The Vice-Chair dismissed the request, finding that the initial adjudicator's reasons meaningfully grappled with the key issues and evidence, including the competing expert reports on catastrophic impairment and attendant care.
The Tribunal concluded there was no error of law, fact, or breach of procedural fairness that would warrant a reconsideration.
