The Appeals Commission is independent from the WCB and is the final level of appeal for workers and employers who disagree with a WCB decision

Effective September 3, 2024, we have issued new guidance documents on a top issue of appeal:
Economic Loss Payment – Entitlement After Age of Retirement as follows:

• Economic Loss Payment – Entitlement After Age of Retirement (applies to dates of accident on or after January 1, 2018)
• Economic Loss Payment – Entitlement After Age of Retirement (65) (applies to dates of accident from January 1, 1995 to December 31, 2017)

These documents, along with other guidance documents for our key appeal issues, can also be accessed under the Appeals menu by selecting Preparing For Your Appeal.

Upcoming Updates to Appeal Rules, Forms and Practice Guidelines Effective October 1, 2024

At the Appeals Commission, we continually review our processes to determine whether they can be updated to better serve our stakeholders.

Through stakeholder consultation and our own review, we have identified where adjustments to our Rules, Forms and Practice Guidelines are necessary.

As of October 1, 2024, our most recent amendments will become effective. Details of the updates can be found here.
