Disputed claims

If a claim is disputed a party may refer it to the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Tribunal for resolution. 

A dispute may be over any aspect of a claim for compensation including (but not limited to):

• starting or stopping of weekly compensation payments
• amount of weekly payments
• payment for medical or other treatments
• payment of rehabilitation expenses
• reimbursement of travelling expenses

Some types of dispute must be referred to the Tribunal within a time limit.   

Some referrals must be made on a particular form and be accompanied by certain information.

The procedures used to resolve the dispute will also vary depending upon what issue is being disputed.
