The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a 2017 motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to medication costs (Cialis) and a determination of catastrophic impairment based on mental and behavioural disorders (Criterion 8).
The Tribunal dismissed the application.
The claim for medication was denied because the applicant failed to prove the prescription was necessitated by the accident rather than other substances, such as hair loss medication or bodybuilding supplements.
On the catastrophic impairment issue, the Tribunal found the applicant had a marked impairment in only one domain (adaptation) and moderate impairments in the other three (activities of daily living; social functioning; concentration, persistence and pace), falling short of the threshold requiring marked impairment in three domains.
