Applicant v. Aviva Insurance Canada (17-006159)

The claimant sought removal from the MIG and entitlement to five treatment plans. Adjudicator Boyce concluded that the claimant’s injuries were minor. Adjudicator Boyce held that the claimant failed to provide evidence of chronic pain and that pain lasting more than six months was not sufficient proof for removal from the MIG. He also held that the claimant did not suffer a psychological impairment, preferring the IE assessor’s conclusions that there was no objective evidence of a DSM-5 diagnosis.
