QUESTIONS:

Can you appeal a decision over a year?
Yes. The request for extension is required in writing and reviewed by WCB

Can you request your file to be reviewed regardless of how old the claim is?

Yes. We have had much success with claims that are up to 30 years old and need reopen consideration and review. You are not caught in the one year appeal statutory for review of decisions that were wrong or missed. 

Can you receive C.P.P disability and WCB benefits

Yes.. WCB can not deduct any entitlement benefits from you whether you receive C.P.P. disability benefits or not.

Can you apply for disability benefits at work when you are on WCB?

Usually NOT but you must advise your carrier immediately when you are injured and start a claim that may pay you if WCB cuts you off. It is recommended that you contact the carrier immediately following an accident.
