Applicant partially entitled to occupational therapy and assistive devices; physiotherapy and driving assessment denied.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's denial of treatment plans for occupational therapy, assistive devices, physiotherapy, and a driving rehabilitation assessment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found the applicant partially entitled to the occupational therapy services and assistive devices, noting that the reasonableness of the benefits must be assessed at the time they were proposed.
However, the Tribunal denied the physiotherapy services as duplicative and exceeding guideline rates, and denied the driving rehabilitation assessment due to a lack of compelling evidence of ongoing psychological impairment.
Interest was awarded on the overdue benefits.
