Application for accident benefits largely dismissed due to pre-existing conditions; minor occupational therapy allowed.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, assistive devices, and occupational therapy services.
The respondent denied the benefits.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove the need for attendant care benefits and assistive devices arose from the accident, noting her extensive pre-existing medical conditions and lack of corroborating medical evidence.
The Tribunal partially allowed the claim for occupational therapy services in the amount of $948.14 to assist the applicant in re-engaging with daily tasks, plus interest.
