The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought ongoing weekly caregiver benefits, as well as costs for medical devices, housekeeping services, and a case manager.

The insurer had terminated caregiver benefits.

The arbitrator found that the applicant suffered a psychological impairment resulting from the accident, including depression and a driving phobia, which caused a partial inability to carry on a normal life.

The arbitrator awarded ongoing caregiver benefits, the costs of a massager and an orthopaedic mattress, and partial housekeeping expenses, but denied the claim for a case manager.
