When won't the Workers' Advisor or Advocate represent me in an appeal?

We may not be able to help you if:

  • our review of your compensation claim indicates that the board or commission has not made an error in interpreting or applying the legislation and/or policies;
  • the evidence available does not support the argument you wish to make;
  • you submit your own appeal and do not wish to have it withdrawn;
  • you have a lawyer, a union representative or some other person actively working on your file; and
  • you ask the advisor or advocate to stop representing you because you do not wish to continue with an appeal.
