Adjudicator: James Graham

ORDER
1Pursuant to the Oral Reasons given at the above noted hearing, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board (CICB) finds the Applicant compensable under Section 5(a) of the Compensation for Victims of Crime Act, RSO 1990 c. C24 (CVCA), and hereby awards him the following:
Section 7(1)(a) Future therapy $2,000.00
Section 7(1)(d) Pain and Suffering $5,000.00
TOTAL AWARD: $7,000.00
Less Other Awards -$2,000.00
TOTAL CURRENT AWARD: $5,000.00
THE CICB ORDERS that the following sums be paid forthwith to:
The Applicant $5,000.00
Further Directions
2Based on the applicant's stated intention to enter into therapy in the near future, the CICB authorizes up to $2,000.00 (exclusive of any applicable taxes) for counselling expenses to be paid directly to a qualified treatment provider upon receipt of a Curriculum Vitae outlining the credentials of the service provider (unless the CICB already has a copy on file). These sessions can only be accessed when the therapy sessions are not covered by other sources, such as the applicant's place of employment or insurance benefits. Therapy sessions must be completed within 36 months of receipt of this Order. It is the CICB’s practice to award up to $100.00 per session for therapy, or up to $125.00 per session for registered psychologists. Payment may be made directly to the treatment provider on a monthly basis, upon submission of an invoice(s) and the required verification(s) from the applicant.
3If, as a direct result of this crime, the Applicant requires physiotherapy and the cost of that physiotherapy is not covered by other sources, the CICB may, pursuant to the provisions of section 25 of the CVCA, consider varying this Order to include a claim for physiotherapy expenses. The Applicant must obtain authorization from the CICB prior to incurring any such expense. The Applicant may contact the CICB to determine what information is required in order to obtain authorization.
DATED AT Toronto this 18^th^ day of January, 2018
