The minor claimant suffered serious injuries in an accident. He received attendant care for over one year, but ACBs were terminated thereafter. He sought entitlement to further ACBs and one medical benefit for physiotherapy. Adjudicator Boyce denied the claim for further ACBs, but partially approved the claim for physiotherapy. The medical evidence suggested that the minor claimant had largely healed from his physical injuries within the year. The claimant’s treating surgeons and doctors had noted that the claimant’s injuries had resolved and the claimant was participating in normal activities. Adjudicator Boyce also noted that the claimant’s Form 1 oddly recommended support with activities that his parents were performing before the accident (meal preparation, bathroom cleaning). Further, there was no evidence of attendant care services being incurred.
