The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident.
The respondent denied several treatment plans, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant sustained a psychological impairment that warranted removal from the MIG, relying on corroborating evidence from multiple psychological professionals over the respondent's section 44 assessor.
Consequently, the Tribunal approved the disputed psychological assessment and treatment plans as reasonable and necessary.
However, the Tribunal dismissed the claims for physiotherapy treatment plans, finding the physical injuries were minor and the plans were not proven reasonable and necessary.
Interest was awarded on overdue benefits.
