Catastrophically impaired applicant denied 24-7 attendant care but awarded $3,047.29 monthly and partial physiotherapy benefits.
The applicant, who was catastrophically impaired following a motorcycle accident, sought attendant care benefits of $6,000 per month for 24-7 supervision, along with medical benefits for physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment.
The Tribunal found that the applicant did not require 24-7 supervision, noting improvements in his condition and inconsistencies in the evidence regarding his need for constant care due to substance abuse and suicidal ideation.
The Tribunal awarded attendant care benefits of $3,047.29 per month.
The Tribunal also partially approved a physiotherapy treatment plan to help manage chronic pain, but denied a second treatment plan for chiropractic and physiotherapy services as excessive and duplicative.
Claims for interest and a special award were dismissed.
