The claimant was catastrophically impaired as a result of a motorcycle accident. He sought entitlement to $6,000 per month in ACBs and entitlement to further physiotherapy. Adjudicator Hines awarded $3,047.29 per month in ACBs. The primary dispute was whether the claimant required 24/7 care. The adjudicator concluded that the claimant did not require 24/7 care. The claimant had the capability to function with a degree of independence. He was attending college and passing courses. While the claimant may have had a crisis in 2017, he made positive improvements and did not require 24-7 supervision for his safety. The claimant was awarded ACBs for dressing, grooming, meal preparation, hygiene, exercise, and some supervisory care for four hours per day. The attendant care services were incurred, as a professional service provided was providing the services. The claimant was also awarded part of one of the two treatment plans for physiotherapy.
