The claimant was found not to have sustained a catastrophic impairment pursuant to criteria 4 of section 3.1 of the SABS. While it was agreed that the claimant had sustained a traumatic brain injury pursuant to a positive CT scan, the adjudicator concluded that the level of impairment caused by the brain injury was not to the degree required for a catastrophic impairment. The adjudicator followed Abdi v. TD General Insurance Company 2021 CanLII 127474. The claimant relied on a report by a neuropsychologist. The adjudicator concluded that a GOS-E assessment conducted by an occupational therapist and reviewed by a neuropsychologist holds no weight because it is not compliant with the Schedule.
