Application for non-earner benefits and assessments denied; applicant failed to prove complete inability to carry on normal life.
The applicant, who was 76 years old at the time of the motor vehicle accident, sought non-earner benefits, a psychological assessment, and an orthopaedic assessment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life, as his post-accident activities were largely consistent with his pre-accident baseline.
The Tribunal also denied the psychological assessment due to a lack of supporting medical evidence from his family physician, and denied the orthopaedic assessment because it was reasonably available through OHIP.
