The claimant sought entitlement to attendant care benefits and medical benefits for vision-related expenses and transportation expenses. Adjudicator Truong held that the claimant was not entitled to any of the benefits or expenses at issue. The claimant’s mother provided her with attendant care; however on the limited and unreliable evidence before the adjudicator, the claimant did not meet her onus of proving that the mother sustained economic loss. Therefore, the claim for attendant care benefits did not meet the definition of “incurred” under to the SABS. The claims for prescription eyewear and an eye exam were not reasonable and necessary, and the transportation expenses submitted were not authorized transportation expenses within the meaning of the FSCO Superintendent’s Guideline No. 04/16. The claimant was not entitled to laser eye treatment expenses because no treatment plan was submitted.
