The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including a non-earner benefit and removal from the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).

The Tribunal found the applicant failed to establish entitlement to the non-earner benefit, noting the insurer's denial letter complied with the notice requirements under s. 36(4) of the Schedule.

Furthermore, the applicant did not provide compelling medical evidence of a pre-existing condition, psychological impairment, or chronic pain with functional impairment to warrant removal from the MIG.

The application was dismissed in its entirety.

The applicant requested a reconsideration of a previous Tribunal decision that barred her from proceeding to a hearing on several treatment plans due to her failure to attend an insurer's examination.

The Tribunal dismissed the reconsideration request, finding no errors of law or fact in its previous determinations regarding the validity of the notices of examination and denial letters at the time they were issued.

The Tribunal also found that the new evidence did not meet the criteria for reconsideration.

The disputed treatment plans were denied as they proposed treatment beyond the MIG limits.
