Applicant entitled to closed period of IRBs but remains subject to the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to prove his injuries fell outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG) on the basis of psychological impairment or chronic pain, preferring the respondent's psychological evidence.
However, the Tribunal found the applicant was entitled to Income Replacement Benefits (IRBs) for a closed period, preferring the evidence of the applicant's chiropractor and clinical records over the respondent's physiatrist.
The claims for disputed treatment plans were dismissed as the MIG limits were exhausted, and the claim for a special award was dismissed.
