Applicant removed from Minor Injury Guideline for chronic pain but denied non-earner and treatment benefits.
The applicant sought accident benefits following a motor vehicle collision.
The adjudicator found that the applicant's injuries warranted removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) due to chronic pain syndrome, satisfying several criteria under the AMA Guides.
However, the applicant's claims for a non-earner benefit and a chiropractic treatment plan were dismissed.
The adjudicator concluded that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as she retained significant functional capacity to engage in pre-accident activities.
The treatment plan was denied because the applicant failed to provide substantive evidence demonstrating it was reasonable and necessary.
