Tribunal awards occupational therapy and assistive devices for post-concussion symptoms but denies further passive physical treatments.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought various medical and rehabilitation benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule for post-concussion syndrome and physical injuries.
The respondent insurer denied several treatment plans.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant was entitled to an in-home assessment, occupational therapy, a portion of a neuropsychological assessment, and assistive devices, as these were reasonable and necessary to address her cognitive and emotional symptoms.
However, claims for massage therapy, physiotherapy, and a rehabilitation support worker were dismissed because the applicant had reached maximum medical improvement from an orthopedic perspective and passive treatments provided only temporary relief.
