Application for non-earner benefits dismissed; impairments largely attributable to pre-existing fibromyalgia.
The applicant sought non-earner benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming a complete inability to carry on a normal life.
The applicant had a significant pre-accident medical history, including fibromyalgia, which had previously rendered her unable to work.
The Tribunal reviewed medical evidence, including insurer examinations and surveillance footage, which demonstrated that the applicant was able to engage in most of her pre-accident activities of daily living.
The Tribunal found that the applicant's ongoing impairments were largely attributable to her pre-existing conditions and dismissed the application for non-earner benefits.
