Expense suspense

An injured worker had been approved by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) to see a doctor some distance from his home. He tried to claim travel and meal expenses from the WSIB, but both were denied. He appealed the decision, but only his travel expenses were approved – and he had to start the process all over again for his meal expenses. After our staff made inquiries, the man’s case was moved up for quicker review, and his meal expenses were approved.
