Application for accident benefits dismissed as surveillance evidence contradicted claims of severe impairment.
The applicant sought income replacement benefits and medical benefits following a minor motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to engage in employment.
The Tribunal relied on surveillance evidence showing the applicant socializing, driving, and taking vacations, which contradicted his claims of severe impairment.
The Tribunal also found the claimed medical benefits were not reasonable and necessary, as previous treatments had not improved his condition and independent medical examinations found him capable of working.
