Application for accident benefits dismissed; meal delivery and food costs are not payable under the Schedule.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, meal preparation and delivery services, a visual skills assessment, and nutrition counselling.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application in its entirety.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's occupational therapy assessment over the applicant's regarding attendant care, finding the applicant could safely feed herself.
The Tribunal also held that the cost of food and nutritional supplements are not payable as medical or rehabilitation benefits under the Schedule, and that meal preparation is exclusively an attendant care benefit.
Claims for a visual skills assessment and further nutrition counselling were also dismissed as not reasonable or necessary.
