Application for ongoing income replacement and medical benefits dismissed as applicant had returned to full-time work.
The applicant sought various statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including ongoing income replacement benefits (IRBs), the cost of an accountant's report, and medical benefits for assistive devices and psychological treatment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant was not entitled to ongoing IRBs because she had returned to full-time work and was paid her normal salary.
The cost of the accountant's report was deemed unreasonable due to the applicant's failure to provide accurate information regarding collateral benefits.
The claims for assistive devices and further psychological treatment were also dismissed, as the Tribunal preferred the evidence of the insurer's examiners, who concluded the items and treatments were not reasonable and necessary given the applicant's functional recovery.
