Application for catastrophic impairment dismissed; applicant failed to establish marked impairment in required functional spheres.
The applicant sought a determination that they sustained a catastrophic impairment due to a mental or behavioural disorder following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal applied the AMA Guides 4th Edition to assess the applicant's functioning in four spheres.
Relying on surveillance evidence, social media posts, and the respondent's medical experts, the Tribunal found the applicant's self-reported limitations were inconsistent with their actual activities, which included home renovations, driving, and running a business.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a marked impairment in any of the four spheres and dismissed the application.
