N.R. v. Aviva Insurance Canada (17-00912)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to further physical therapy and a psychological assessment. Adjudicator Mather concluded that the claimant suffered from chronic pain syndrome, which adversely affected his wellbeing; the MIG did not apply to his injuries. Further physical therapy was awarded based on the goal of reducing pain and increasing the claimant’s activities of normal living. The psychological assessment was not payable because the claimant failed to prove that he suffered a psychological impairment.
