Application for accident benefits dismissed as proposed occupational therapy and assistive devices were not reasonable and necessary.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits for occupational therapy and assistive devices following a 2016 motor vehicle accident.
The respondent insurer denied the treatment plans.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal found that while the applicant continued to suffer impairments from the exacerbation of pre-existing degenerative disc disease, she failed to prove that the proposed occupational therapy and assistive devices were reasonable and necessary.
The adjudicator relied on the respondent's occupational therapy assessment, which concluded the applicant could perform self-care and had returned to work without the devices.
The application was dismissed.
