The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, disputing the respondent's determination that his injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant argued for removal from the MIG based on a psychological impairment, a pre-existing sleep apnea condition, and chronic pain.
The Tribunal found insufficient medical evidence to support a psychological diagnosis, no causal link or compelling evidence that the sleep apnea prevented recovery, and no functional impairment resulting from chronic pain.
Consequently, the applicant's injuries were deemed predominantly minor, and the claims for treatment plans and interest were dismissed.
