The claimant sought entitlement to IRBs, ACBs, and medical benefits. The insurer argued that the claimant failed to attend an IE assessment contrary to the SABS. Adjudicator Maedel agreed with the insurer in regard to most of the claimed benefits, and held that the IEs were not requested inappropriately. In terms of the MIG and a psychological treatment plan, the adjudicator held that the claimant failed to prove that she suffered a psychological injury as a result of the accident. He preferred the IE opinions over that of the claimant’s assessors, which appeared to be boilerplate. He also commented that the family physician’s records did not show any connection between the accident and the claimant’s psychological impairments.
