The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that her injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The applicant claimed entitlement to a non-earner benefit, various treatment plans, and an award for unreasonable delay.

The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that she suffered from a pre-existing condition, physical injuries, psychological impairment, or chronic pain with functional impairment that would warrant removal from the MIG.

The Tribunal also dismissed the claim for a non-earner benefit due to a lack of evidence regarding the applicant's pre- and post-accident activities.

As the applicant remained subject to the MIG, the treatment plans were not considered, and the application was dismissed in its entirety.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2015 motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found the applicant was not entitled to an income replacement benefit because she failed to comply with section 57(2) of the Schedule by not engaging in recommended psychological treatment for her psychological impairments.

The Tribunal granted the claims for medical cannabis and occupational therapy services because the respondent failed to provide proper denial notices under section 38(8) of the Schedule.

The request for an electric mattress and elongated toilet was dismissed as the devices were found to be reasonable but not necessary.

A claim for chiropractic services was found payable directly to the treatment provider.
