The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied various treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on psychological impairment and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found the applicant's psychological evidence, including an OCF-3 from a physiotherapist and a psychological assessment by a social worker, lacked weight due to scope of practice issues and inconsistencies with contemporaneous medical records.
The Tribunal preferred the respondent's psychological assessment, which found no psychological impairment.
The Tribunal also found the applicant did not meet the criteria for chronic pain under the AMA Guides.
Consequently, the applicant remained within the MIG, and the claims for treatment plans, an award, and interest were dismissed.
