Filing Cabinet

Step 1

Before you begin:
The Review Committee encourages workers and employers to request disclosure of files before submitting a Request for Review. This ensures all parties have access to the relevant information relating to the issues in question.

If you're a worker or employer disputing a claims decision: Speak to the Claims Entitlement Supervisor, Adjudicator, Case Manager, or the Manager of Claims Services to request a disclosure of the claim file. For more information on claim file disclosures please refer to Policy 07.01, Access to Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission Information. 

If you're an employer disputing an assessment decision: Speak to your Assessment Representative, or the Manager of Employer Services to request a disclosure of the employer file. For more information on employer file disclosures please refer to Policy 07.01, Access to Workers' Safety and Compensation Commission Information.
