The claimant sought entitlement to NEBs, removal from the MIG, and further medical benefits. The insurer argued that the claimant was barred from seeking NEBs due to the limitation period. Adjudicator Harmison accepted that the insurer had denied NEBs more than five years prior, and that the denial was clear and unequivocal. In terms of the medical benefits claim, the adjudicator held that the claimant failed to prove that his injuries were outside of the MIG. The adjudicator placed significant weight on the records from the family physician, which showed only one entry referring to the accident, and no reports of psychological injury.
