Application for catastrophic impairment benefits dismissed; surveillance evidence contradicted claimed marked psychological and physical impairments.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2018 motor vehicle accident, claiming she sustained a catastrophic impairment.
The Licence Appeal Tribunal evaluated her impairments under Criterion 7 (Whole Person Impairment) and Criterion 8 (mental and behavioural disorders) of the Schedule.
The Tribunal rejected several of the applicant's expert ratings due to methodological flaws and inconsistencies with surveillance footage, which showed the applicant performing strenuous tasks like shovelling snow and shopping independently.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant did not meet the threshold for catastrophic impairment and dismissed her claims for attendant care, treatment plans, and a special award.
