The claimant sought entitlement to attendant care, non-earner, and medical benefits. The insurer denied the benefits and had placed the claimant within the MIG. On review of the medical documentation, Adjudicator Nicole Treksler found the claimant was not entitled to any of the benefits claimed. It was noted that non-earner benefits are not automatic upon the submission of a disability certificate; indeed, an OCF-3 is a “a starting point for the [insurer] to investigate whether the applicant is entitled to the claimed benefit.” Adjudicator Treksler also concluded the applicant had not met the onus of demonstrating that his injuries were not minor.
