Application for catastrophic impairment determination dismissed as applicant's 51% WPI fell short of 55% threshold.
The applicant sought a determination that her impairments from a motor vehicle accident met the 55% whole person impairment (WPI) threshold for catastrophic impairment under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The adjudicator evaluated conflicting medical evidence regarding the applicant's neurological and psychological impairments, including sleep disorders, mental status, and somatic disorders.
While the adjudicator preferred much of the applicant's medical evidence and found the insurer's assessors had underestimated the impairments, the final combined WPI was determined to be 51%.
As this fell short of the 55% threshold, the application was dismissed.
