The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming catastrophic impairment due to mental and behavioural disorders under Criterion 8 of the Schedule.
The Tribunal found that the applicant sustained a marked impairment in three domains of functioning: activities of daily living, adaptation, and social functioning, preferring the evidence of the applicant's psychiatrist over the respondent's.
The Tribunal concluded the applicant was catastrophically impaired.
However, the applicant's claim for a psychological services treatment plan was dismissed as he failed to provide evidence establishing it was reasonable and necessary.
