The claimant disputed his MIG status; entitlement to a medical benefit for physiotherapy treatment; and interest on overdue payment of benefits. Adjudicator Norris rejected that the claimant suffered a psychological injury as a result of the accident, finding that the evidence of psychological injury relied upon by the claimant was inconsistent with the entire rest of the claimant’s medical record. Further, the claimant failed to adduce evidence sufficient to establish that a pre-existing finger fracture prohibited him from recovering within the MIG limit. Adjudicator Norris held that the claimant suffered a minor injury within the meaning of the Schedule and is subject to the MIG funding limit. Entitlement to the medical benefit in dispute was rejected as a result.
