Reconsideration of catastrophic impairment decision dismissed; no error of law or fact in weighing evidence.
The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Tribunal decision that found he did not meet the requirements for catastrophic impairment under Criterion 8 of the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule.
The applicant argued the Tribunal failed to properly adjudicate the evidence, relied too heavily on expert reports, and failed to consider his impairments on a biopsychosocial basis.
The Tribunal dismissed the request, finding no error of law or fact.
The Tribunal held that it had properly weighed the evidence, including the applicant's own expert who found only a moderate impairment in concentration, persistence, and pace, and that the reconsideration process is not an opportunity to reweigh evidence.
