The applicant sought various medical benefits and assessments and argued that his injuries fell outside the MIG. Adjudicator Hamud held that the applicant’s injuries fell within the MIG, and the applicant failed to establish that he could not achieve maximal recovery from within the MIG. The applicant sustained sprain and strains of the spine, shoulder, wrist, and ankle, and had sleep difficulties. The applicant had pre-existing chronic lower back pain. The adjudicator held that there was no compelling evidence to establish that the claimant’s pre-existing lower back pain would prevent maximal recovery within the MIG.
