Reconsideration granted in part; attendant care benefit awarded due to cognitive barriers to meal preparation.
The applicant requested a reconsideration of a Licence Appeal Tribunal decision that denied her claims for an attendant care benefit, treatment plans for meal delivery, and a visual skills assessment following a motor vehicle accident.
The Vice-Chair granted the reconsideration in part, finding that the original decision erred by focusing exclusively on the applicant's physical ability to prepare meals while ignoring her documented cognitive and psychological limitations.
The Tribunal varied the decision to award the attendant care benefit of $448.49 per month.
However, while the Tribunal found an error in the original statutory interpretation regarding meal delivery plans, it ultimately confirmed their denial, concluding they were not reasonable and necessary given the approval of the attendant care benefit.
The denial of the visual skills assessment was also confirmed.
