The claimant applied to the LAT for a CAT designation, ACBs, and medication. The adjudicator found that the claimant did have a CAT impairment under Category 8 and was entitled to receive ACBs and medication. The Tribunal rejected the insurer’s argument that the pre-accident family death was the cause of the claimant’s psychological impairment. The LAT found that the claimant was not entitled to an ACB of $6,000/per month as she did not require 24/7 supervision and was able to work 3 to 4 hours a week. Although she was involved in a fire in 2018 from leaving the stove on, it did not mean she required 24/7 supervision. The claimant was found to be entitled to $1,561/per month in ACBs. The claimant was entitled to incurred ACBs, occupational therapy fees, an audiometric and speech-language pathology assessment, a social work assessment and RSW services.
