The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The respondent denied the benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The applicant sought removal from the MIG based on chronic pain, pre-existing conditions including gout and hypertension, and psychological impairments.
The Tribunal found that the applicant failed to provide compelling medical evidence to establish that his injuries warranted removal from the MIG, preferring the respondent's section 44 assessments.
As the applicant remained within the MIG, the disputed treatment plans were not considered, and the application was dismissed.
