Important takeaways from the decision in Cho v Insurance Australia Limited t/as NRMA Insurance [2022] NSWPICMP 107:

• The Review Panel applied the findings in Lynch v AAI Limited t/as AAMI [2022] NSW PICMP 6 as to the timing of the diagnosis.
   
• The Review Panel did not diagnose PTSD as the accident was not experienced as a threat of serious injury or death.
