The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming she sustained a catastrophic impairment due to a mental or behavioural disorder under Criterion 8 of the Schedule.
The Tribunal assessed the applicant's functioning across four spheres: activities of daily living, social functioning, concentration, persistence and pace (CPP), and adaptation.
While the Tribunal found a marked impairment in CPP, it concluded the applicant only sustained moderate impairments in the other three spheres.
As the applicant did not demonstrate a marked impairment in three or more spheres, or an extreme impairment in one, the application was dismissed.
