The claimant sought entitlement to various medical benefits for physical treatment and assistive devices. Adjudicator Johal concluded that the claims were not reasonable and necessary and dismissed the claims. She held that self-reports of pain were not sufficient to prove treatment was reasonable and necessary, and wrote that some form of medical documentation corroborating the reporting was necessary. Further, the claimant demonstrated functional mobility to complete all personal care and housekeeping tasks. She was therefore not entitled to the proposed assistive devices.
