Applicant deemed catastrophically impaired due to psychological issues but denied ongoing income replacement and attendant care benefits.
The applicant was injured in a bicycle-motorcycle collision and sought various statutory accident benefits, including a determination of catastrophic impairment (CAT).
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant sustained a catastrophic impairment due to a marked impairment in the adaptation domain resulting from psychological and behavioural disorders.
However, the Tribunal dismissed the applicant's claims for post-104 week income replacement benefits, finding he did not suffer a complete inability to work.
Claims for attendant care and housekeeping benefits were also dismissed because the applicant failed to prove his father, the service provider, suffered an economic loss.
A claim for a special award was denied as the insurer did not unreasonably withhold benefits.
