The applicant sought attendant care benefits, an award, and interest following a motor vehicle accident.

The Tribunal found the applicant entitled to $942.19 per month in attendant care benefits based on the occupational therapist's assessment of her needs for exercise supervision, bathing, and equipment maintenance.

The Tribunal dismissed the claims for incurred attendant care shortfalls, interest, and a section 10 award, finding the insurer's reliance on the ratio method and its own assessments was reasonable.

The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident while a passenger on a bus.

The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that four treatment plans for assistive devices and occupational therapy were reasonable and necessary, given the applicant's physical and cognitive decline post-accident.

However, the Tribunal denied two treatment plans for physiotherapy and kinesiology, finding that the applicant had not benefited from past physical therapy and was unlikely to engage in it due to other health issues and personal behaviours.

The Tribunal also denied the applicant's request for an award, finding no unreasonable conduct by the insurer.
