Applicant awarded medical and rehabilitation benefits but denied income replacement and attendant care benefits.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant's right wrist impairment pre-dated the accident and was not caused by it.
The Tribunal granted the applicant's claims for a knee brace, chiropractic and physiotherapy treatment, a psychological assessment, and a chronic pain assessment, finding them reasonable and necessary.
However, the Tribunal dismissed the claims for income replacement benefits, finding the applicant did not suffer a substantial inability to perform his sedentary pre-accident employment as a debt collector.
The claim for attendant care benefits was also dismissed as the expenses were not incurred and the applicant was found to be independent with personal care tasks.
