Request a Review

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 claim 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, Claim File Information Access.

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 07.02, Employer File Information Access.
Step 2
Complete a Request for a Review form.

Note: you must request a review within three years of the original decision.
