The claimant applied to the LAT seeking a determination that her accident-related impairments were outside of the MIG and entitlement to psychological and chronic pain assessments. The insurer argued the claimant was barred from proceeding with the application for MIG determination as the issue had already been adjudicated and decided by the LAT in a previous application. Adjudicator Lake found that the doctrine of res judicata applied, and the claimant was barred from seeking a determination on whether her impairments were outside of the MIG. The application was dismissed.
