WCB Alberta is an Insurance company that Denies as many claims as possible.

  • denying claims and proper medical care saves them money.
  • injured workers are a liability and therefore need to be removed from the system as soon as possible.
  • the so called appeal process is a sham... the appeal board is on the payroll of WCB.
  • Independant Medical Exams are conducted by Doctors on the the WCB payroll and these Doctors are taught to lie and decieve as a matter of common WCB practice.
  • WCB does not lose in Court, they have endless resources and will use the most underhanded tactics available.

  1. Another misuse of the Meredith Principle. no retraining, just chuck the disabled worker into the wind, like a used piece of garbage.
    I hope you WCB employees and especially the medical advisors and management have to pay for your misdeeds in your life-time.
    Making a injured worker spend his last few dollars to obtain a lawyer when you know he needs help is just, wrong, wrong, wrong.

    1. I agree with you 100% My mom (who's 70), they are still threatning to cut her off Every month. The stress they caused her they are the cause of her having to have Triple bypass surgery & they could careless. if we the people don't unit as one, they won't stop! One thing i know 4 sure "they will reap what they sow" each & every last 1 of them! Bring it to God then he can't help but to act of ur behalf. His laws are in place 4 a reason! These hartless deamons think they have the last laugh, trust me, they'll get it back, it'll fall on them 100 fold! God said we should love one another! Nothing more, nothing less!

  3. I understand everything that this person has said about WCB and how they don't treat people fairly. I have filed for WCB last year and still have no progress with them. I am appealing their dession once again with the aid of the appeals board. I too have a disc problem in my back and going to have surgery soon to correct it. But I still need the money owned to me from WCB. WCB is suppose to be there to help injured workers , but tell me something when do they? I think all companys in Alberta should bycott the cause and not put any more money into WCB because the only ones who benefit from WCB is the ones who are crooks and lie about their injurys just like the ones who work for them. Someone once told me the "HONESTY BRINGS PROVERTY" I now beleive that. WCB don't know how much pain and suffering they have caused familys in Alberta. I am a person who was trying to tell the truth about my injury and get all the facts right, but my doctor twisted my words around and made it sound like my injury was cause at home and not at work. So you see WCB is an organization that shouldn't even exist because all they do is profit like any other business and always lookout to get their money first instead of helping the injured person first.
    If there is anyone else who feel the same as I do I would love to hear what they have to say. Please post a comment!

    1. I have had a disc problem in my back for about ten years now. Alberta healthcare has denied my requests for an mri multiple times. WCB has denied 9/9 claims that I have made in the last 13 years working as a red seal journeyman plumber and journeyman class B gasfitter. It is clear to me that none of our injuries are covered. And I have now moved to BC. Where I was put on the list for an mri on my first visit to a doctor. I have now quit the trades at the age of 35, 2 years after receiving my red seal. We have no rights as employees unless you are in a union. And unions account for less than one third of the total trades jobs in Canada. And unions are almost impossible to get into where I lived. So, being that we have given up our right to sue the company that caused the injuries. In return for nothing from WCB. I now realize that it is unsafe to work any physical job in Canada. I have not worked in a year and now am looking for work in something less back breaking. I Think it is plain to see that WCB is causing the skilled trades shortage in Canada. Because repeated injuries being denied by WCB, are creating progressive injuries to employees. And these injuries are not recognized by WCB. So we are having to pay for our own recovery. And being forced to continue working while injured. These progressive injuries are then causing the premature loss of Canada’s skilled workforce. I, for instance have now quit at the age of 35. And I now feel the need to discourage young people from joining the trades. Because WCB is lying to us, tricking us into joining the trades and not covering our injuries. 9/9 claims denied proves it to me. Young people DO NOT JOIN THE TRADES!!!
      Save yourselves from a lifetime of pain and suffering. Go to school for computers, as those jobs are safe from WCB’s neglect when you are injured for your companies sake.

  4. I was injured on feb 28 1998, at the time I was making in excess of $10,000.00 per month, I now live on $1050 on aish per month and have to take 100mgs of oxycontin every six hours to handle the pain. I can not afford or find a lawyer. It is strange that the government finds me severely handicapped from a workplace accident and give me benefits but wcb is off the hook as well as the medical insurance i was paying for.
    I have been discriminated against, slandered and propaganda used against me for the duration of my wcb claim when they found out what was wrong with me they sent me to another doctor who in 10 minutes discredited the other specialists and said I was lingering to gain something although they did not know what. yet I wonder what gain I have living on 10% of what I made doing the job I loved living in pain 24/7

  6. The scary part about wcb is they don,t seem to have any body to answer to.If they lie its forgot .
    If you lie even by mistake you are charged, cut off,starved; and treated worse then a murderer.THIS IS NOT HOW A DEMOCRACY WORKS PEOPLE. STUDY HISTORY. THIS IS SOCIALISM. Which is worse then communison or naziism.Read history we do not live in a democracy!!!I am not an extremest this is a fact and anyone that wants to argue this is not informed and is over educated or under educated with no sence of reality.This wcb system has to start to become accountable for the atrosities it brings the tax payers of canada.One argument they make is employies don,t pay for it employers do.Well how would employers pay if it wasn,t for workers and for that matter who would pay for wcb workers if it wasn,t for the workers out there with honest jobs.If I had to sneek ,lie and crawl like these so called docters they hire I couldn,t sleep at night.Hope these docters are real proud of them selves they are the lowest of the low real cowards.Wait till your kids find out what a coward their dad is and they will sooner or later.

  8. Anyone ever had any problems with WCB and their supposed promises to retrain? I sustained an injury while working full time and completing school part time. I'm not working at the moment and still awaiting further surgery. A lot of the physical work I used to do isn't an option when I return to work and WCB has started these ridiculous career counselling sessions and seem to expect me to take crappy meaningless jobs once Im recovered well below my previous wages. I feel like its an insult that I already hold an education and they expect me to just be content with accepting a position at the corner store or so to speak. I depended on the money I was making to fund my schooling and now it feels like WCB is controlling my life and further setting back my plans.

  9. Often we forget the little guy, the SMB, in our discussions of the comings and goings of the Internet marketing industry. Sure there are times like this when a report surfaces talking about their issues and concerns but, for the most part, we like to talk about big brands and how they do the Internet marketing thing well or not so well.

  10. I'm in a similar situation with WCB. Can we, together, do something? As a group, perhaps there will be a loud enough voice to be heard. Perhaps, as a group, we can find the strength we need to continue the fight. I'm at the end of my rope...hopeless, depressed, jobless, and about to lose everything I worked so hard for. I’ve fought for years, tried my best to no avail. I’m tired and don’t know which way to turn. My lawyer has dropped me saying this is a no win situation…my employer has had me followed in an effort to disprove my injury…I’ve hired an advocate, but haven’t seen any results.
    If there is an interest in pooling together our energies to fight this battle, contact me. I know none of us have any money, but, maybe we can get ourselves heard by someone, somewhere that can offer us help.

  13. A number of people really don't have to be anxious about spending money on for their individual health care fees or about buying insurance policies because they live in states where their government authorities consider health care of these folks. Nevertheless, for the majority of people, we are better off selecting into a health and wellbeing insurance coverage plan, such as a group health insurance plan. But how do you acquire into one of these programs and exactly what are they?

    A group health policy is not really for family members or single people. It is ordered by organisations who need to provide their important staff with health coverage. For worker to opt into the organization health insurance plan, the person must work a specific amount of time each week or more.

    All insurance plans are completely different. They will are available at various expenses and will include several kinds of factors. To uncover out what your insurance cover particulars are, you will have to request your boss about your insurance policy, so you can discover out how it will work.

    Just another shafting from WCB Alberta. We're on year #6. I'm writing on behalf of my husband who was chemically poisoned - proved by Workplace & Safety and he has a diagnosis of "solvent induced encephaopathy" from an Occupational Physician. Even the first WCB consultant, Dr May stated in favor of his case and pointed out that this exposure was 4X limits but his opinions were ignored. He disappeared real quick. WCB refused his claim at this point although he was awaiting a number of appointments and tests. He is left with a number of neuropsycholic problems & myoclonic jerks as diagnosed by 2 neurologists and a movement specialist, These problems have been attributed to diabetes. Even though our family doctor requested he be seen by WCB he wasn't seen by anyone there, and in retrospect I guess that was a lucky break. It hasn't stopped them from making all sorts of diagnosis though. They have redefined his health problems as MALAISE. The lowest they've stooped? - their consultant Dr Cheng, used his mentally handicapped son, my physical disability and a cousin who died of an accidental overdose 50 years ago to try and establish that he's mentally ill. He's certainly depressed. I would think between brain damage and the reprehensible behavoir you experience when dealing with the inhumanity of WCB this would be expected. I guess none of us are a part of the 862 people that are allowing to collect compensation this year. (See 2010 WCB Alberta Corporate Scorecard "we will not exceed 862 cases lasting longer than 3 months".) As for lawyers and advocates - we paid the lawyer almost $3,000 and she did nothing but stall for 3 years. The WCB advocate, we paid $1750 and she said basically said nothing at the Appeal and failed to present important medical information which we had given her. As for forming a group and paying insurance independent of WCB, this works only for self employed personnel. WCB is mandatory if you employ workers other than yourself. My boss, in support of my claim, told WCB he would not pay their premiums directly but put the monies payable in a trust account. They told him he could be arrested and fined to the point his business would go under. Doesn't this sound a lot like a protection racket you'd see in some mob movie? It's time people realized that these are the tactics of our provincial government. As for the Canadian government, read the human rights we're actually afforded under the Canadian Human Rights Act. I have been told that the WCB ACT trumps the Human Right Act anyway. Don't kid yourself, this is a state run system and once WCB is involved, democracy and any kind of human rights you think you have no longer exist. I'm not sure what you can do about it. I've been told by an employee in our MLA's office that she received hundreds of these complaints about WCB every year and I would guarantee that your MLA's office is no different. As for the justice minister, or the lieutenant governor don't hold your breath. I'm sure there's a law somewhere on the books that could be used as a class action against the government. WCB has made themselves untouchable and unaccountable. To find a lawyer that would take on a challenge like this would, I think, be next to impossible. It's pretty apparent that WCB directors, employees, doctors, legislators and lawyers are making a pretty good living off the backs of badly injured and disabled workers. Do you really think this will change? If you read their literature you'll see lots about stakeholders (this doesn't mean injured workers) and lots about numbers but nothing about truth, dignity or justice.

I don't know what happened when I tried to submit. I kept getting errors and thought it didn't post at all. I'm very embarrassed to be causing such trouble.

  19. Good day to all of you in WCB(if there is such a thing for us in pain)

    I have read all the comments, and it actually makes me feel sick to my stomach, of how WCB deals with humans and they are able to get away with it.

    I too have the unfortunate reality every day having to deal with these people(using this word very loosely). Clearly they are doing a job, but REALLY we should have them be accountable for all our other issues. Such as: loss of home, items(we worked hard for), finances, families etc. How can they just simply concentrate on the paper work, there are lives attached to any paper work. I truly believe until they have to be accountable to someone they will never change. Who wants to have to deal with them on a weekly basis. Since 2001 I have had to deal with these people, and in return on top of my injury that they should be charged for, they took 8 years to finally acknowledge my arm(entire arm), now I have many other problems besides the pain, stress, anger and you name it.

    What we should do is all get together with our stories and go to the government and newspapers, we have to start somewhere...... compaining does nothing for us unfortunatly.

    I feel your stress, and I am so sorry that any of us should have to deal with this, all we did is go to work....

    Regards

  20. Any one suffering from WCB's mistreatment should keep writing to them with a copy to your MP, MLA, Provincial Industry Minister, Federal Industry Minister, your Premier, Prime Minister and human rights groups. They should not have doctors on WCB's payroll as all the doctors in Canada are qualified to provide services to their patients. Refusing these doctors means that they are chellanging the medical system in Canada.

  21. WCB Feb 9,2011 I agree with many of the comments made about wcb. I was injured on Nov.21,2008 as an overhead door pinned my arm as I slipped due to ice while the door was coming down. In Jan of 2009 I attended some "excercise" classes to strenghten my arm. I was supposedly examined and after 10 days was told i was fine to go back to work. Really, Here i am almost 2+ years later and still do not have full strength and mobility with my arm.Am currently in not receipt of any monies from wcb. I definitely agree with some other posts, wcb definitely writes their own ticket!!!We are currently appealing this decision, ha!,Ha!.FRUSTATED WITH THESE PEOPLE THAT ARE EMPLOYED WITH WCB? YOU BET I AM

  22. I am in need of some help, legal help. I have a case worker who seems to think my WCB payments are coming out of her pocket. She is horrible to talk to and is very abrasive. I received a compressed fracture of my back at work and she seems to think that I should have been back on my equipment within a month and half after the accident. She has informed me that I was ready for modified work so I obliged and went into an office job as I am recovering. I have done everything that she has asked me to do and it is never enough. I was suffering one morning and could not move not to even mention the pain level I was in and was called by her and informed " that with this injury there is NO EXCUSE that I could miss work!!" Well Im thinking that people, including herself - who takes every friday off so only works 4 days a wwek, someitmes have problems where they can't make it into work. I cant be the only one who has an issue with the injury interferring with work plus the rest of my life... am I?? Where does a person turn when WCB makes life hell?? If I report her to her supervisor, what happens? Do they make my life worse then she is already?? Or does someone there actually come to my aide? Anyone with any advice or knowledge please inform me on my rights.

    1. Local ombudsman, have it noted with a third party always. One thing I've learned over 5 years. If you have a dr. Vs their ortho , take your paperwork and burn it, that's all it is worth unless you have ortho opposing their ortho opinion. New legislation has more weight on acting ortho opposed to WCB non practicing opinions also. Anything you have concerns about medically, consult with your dr , get referred to a specialist of your choice or your practitioners suggestion opposed to the non practicing opinion that gives zero fu.cks about your actual health concerns . I do not allow WCB to inject or operate on me, the assessments were enough of a blatant lie to realize I needed an actual Dr or more specifically orthopedic Surgeon to assess me.

      Unless you have an ortho in your corner , prepare yourself for dealings reconsiderations over and over and over and over . Educate yourself on their proceedings , policies , and always look after your health before adhering to their mandates . You can always be denied or appeal it another time I should say ;)

      If you can have a second opinion address your concerns before allowing them to give you ( pre set timelines ) 2-4-6 weeks of return to work and be done with you before you're even remotely prepared to return to work ... get the second opinion and listen to what your body is telling you, not how much you need their decisions and possible financial assistance. Find another means of financial support and prepare yourself for a long battle of what seems to be an Alice n wonderland of twisting, turning and bending gray areas most times breaking laws .
      Until your current "treating ortho" signs off as "related to workplace incident" , WCB orthopedic opinions out weigh your Family physician, physiotherapist, chiropractor, and most other specialists. Have an orthopedic opinion paid for independently assessing all your specialists opinions as an independent medical assessment ( of your own ortho not WCB recommended ) .

      Their objective is to frustrate and starve, mentally prepare yourself for the polite replies you will need to give . Take a deep breath, collect yourself, and remember EVERYTHING you say and do is recorded. After an attempt to see if I would jump out of the path of a private investigators vehicle with a camera mounted to the dash, the vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid me, as i was unable to move out of the way. 2 cars were ran off the road . Again, prepare yourself, document dates , times and if you're lucky enough to obtain a first and LAST name . Because "john" doesn't hold up in court.

      Eventually you will reach the appeals commission stage where you can request an independent medical review, which a panel of 3 medical examiners can make a decision whether WCB needs to reconsider your claim.

      I hope we all realize by now, that the single most benefactor of WCB is the government who employs alot of workers. Keeping this is mind, do not expect breaking of their laws to come with consequence , simply find the laws that protect you and stay within them, anticipate the next shady approach from these wonderful people and be mentally prepared for Alice n wonderland 2 !

      Finally, remember when you're on your last years of life, you dont have to claim WCB against CPP... so maybe it'll pay for some depends or dentures.

      Check online for common symptoms shared among other people, learn from their healthcare process . Try to treat yourself the best you can and if you do manage to get WCB to reconsider, hopefully it is before the approaching 6 years I've been in pain . There are advocates independent of WCB, find one whom takes their issues to the federal level appealing and changing laws advocating for workers. Anything short of that is another hand in your pocket.

  23. Hey. I'm A Hurt Alberta Worker. I originally got comp from wcb until they messed me around and reduced my rate to under $20 a week. after fighting with them for a month daily they screwed me around. so i contacted my friends at telus and rogers and got their home contact information and showed up at each of the 4 individuals that handled my cases home personal properties and knocked on their doors and continued on arguing with them. well. i guess they didnt like finding them selves so vulnerable or the fact that i found out where they lived and in a matter of 2 business days my fees were restored to me in full plus back pay with out the need to appeal.

  24. I really can't understand why sooooo many have these problems with all factions of this system, yet still nothing is getting done. All I have to say now is good on anyone that was brave enough to walk into any wcb office with a gun. Maybe the next person brave enough should pick every person that has these powers of decisions and , brake a leg, an arm, a back, just hurt them at work and see how they get treated.

  25. WCB has so many loopholes that is sheltered by the Government that no Lawyers want to touch. So WCB know they can mess with anyone with serious injuries and get away with it. Our Government does;nt do anything about it because they are in bed together. WCB is not even a Government agency as everyone believe, They are only protected by the Government. And are protected by loopholes. So good luck everyone. From a permanently disabled worker that the WCB did it to without so much as a kiss!!!!

  26. WCB has to many loopholes which the Government allows and no Lawyers want to touch them because of these loops. Only Wcb lawyers will say that they will help but dont depend on them they are as crooked as WCB. The WCB is not even a government institution as everyone believes. they are only protected by the Government. If You have a serious injury You are in the loop and will get kicked to them curb like Me. Bit of advice from a permanently disabled worker, Dont get hurt to bad!!!!!

  27. I to have been abused by WCB and thier paid for docs in abox. I have had 2 medical panels because they have amunity. They dont specialize in my disability. They do specialize in making alot of money and disagreeing with my treating Docs. I am still suffering in pain where the panel doctor hit my knee so hard 3 times trying to get a reflex. I have now found a lawyer who is not scared of WCB. There is a law in Canada that is simular to the RICO Law in the states. If you are in Alberta and have proof that WCB and thier hired doctors have been biased, inaccurate,untrue,negligent or misleading in thier reports.If you would like to be part of a class action law suit please respond to

  30. WCB are crooks. WCB is a total for profit company that takes money off our pay checks. Every time a claim is denied an employee at WCB gets a bonus check. WCB is not an honest company. I think you have to have a criminal record just to work there.

  31. I have to apologize, This story may be long.. But based off your stories i just read it is worth the read for you as well. I am posting this on behalf of my injured common law that hasn't been the same since October 17 2008.

    Jason is a commercial roofer, who loved his job and took a lot of pride in what he did and how he was able to grow and assume more responsibilities on the job.

    On October 17 2008 Jason was ripping out an old roof and dumping it off the edge of the room (on a ramp) into a dump truck. The guy that went in front of Jason on the ramp to dump his barrow dropped some debris on the ramp and did not tell Jason prior to him stepping on the ramp. His barrow was lifted up so he was not able to see that the ramp was unsafe. The front wheel of the barrow tripped and the barrow almost fell off the edge of the roof risking serious injury or death to the people below him on ground. Jason grabbed the barrow and torqued and saved himself and the barrow from going over bored.Debris was everywhere and Jason was clearly injured. Jason called me and I told him to shake it off (not knowing the possibility of a serious injury) or go home and rest and that we would go see a doctor if we needed. We are a young family with a new born and couldnt afford to have no paycheck coming in. Jason could tell that something was wrong and went to the doctor. Since Jasons injury was so debilitating he went to the closest walk in clinic where the rushed doctor told Jason that he hurt his neck and didnt even want to fill out the WCB forms, because he didnt want to be bullied or harassed from WCB. Jason knew that there was more and went to a different doctor the next day and he diagnosed Jason with a herniated Disk, to the L5 S1 section of his back, the disk was pushing up against his nerves and causing leg numbness, tingling in feet, Urinary Incontinency, back pain all over (especially at the beginning as everything was swollen), Cauda Equina Symptoms, bowel problems, sexual dysfunction, migranes. All of these symptoms makes Jason is unable to leave the house or drive more than 5b minutes without extreme problems. Every jerking motion, bump in the road, sitting down makes his symptoms heighten to a point that they are unbearable. Jason was seeing a physiotherapist that specializes in back injury (WCB APPROVED) that was close to our house and just bearable enough for him to drive to. The doctor had done a number or tests and treatment and WCB called a week later and said that we had to go to a physiotherapist 40KM AWAY!!!!! We explained that he is having pain and issues driving that was hard to explain at the time of the week old injury and they said too bad and we had to go there or get cut off. Jason reluctantly went to every appointment, When we pulled the chart notes from the clinic he was first seeing I found an advisory letter to WCB advising that he strongly disagrees with their decision to pull Jason out of his care and that he was still too swollen to tell the magnitude of his injury. WCB just so happened to not include this in the file they gave us... Their doctor was only treating jason for neck pain and had him come and sign into a gym for 3 hours without seeing a single doctor everyday. When the pain and symptoms became completely unbearable Jason called and asked if he could go to the hospital instead of the "clock in" appointment he had at their physiotherapist where they told us that they would cut him off if he didn't show. Jason went to the appointment and left for the hospital. During his trip to the hospital they decided to do a back to work assessment and cleared him to go back to work!!!!!!!! while he was at the hospital with unbearable pain and symptoms!!!

  32. Jason was then cut off and as he could not go to work i went and got 2 jobs to pay for the bills and fill a portion of the financial void WCB left my family with. Jasons doctor ordered an MRI and WCB chose not to fund it... which left us with a year waiting list, from what could have been 48 hours. Had any of us (us and our doctor) known that the disk was so herniated the disk would be pushing on his nerves causing irreversible nerve damage i would have found a way to afford the 2000.00 cost of the test. Once Jason got the test the damage had been done. The disk went down a bit and he can not get surgery because... there's no point. They are treating the symptoms, and only with medications.We have now been at it for 4 years... and one health care waiting list after the other... we are in the same position. Jason received only 2 weeks of pay from WCB... They sure nknow their loopholes, It is true... This is ALL about the paperwork for them, not what is right or wrong... Who in their right mind in such a moment of stress, depression and pain can focus on paperwork!! i had faith in the system before this.. Looks like i should have had my guard up and educated myself to know how to get around them... I wish being honest was enough. I was told by a number of doctors that WCB is bonused off them rejecting pour claim and saving them money. I was also told that the doctors that they went me to were also bonused for getting me back to work as soon as possible, no matter what the consequence to us. I hope they can sleep well at night with themselves... i personally couldn't do it. To anyone reading this that works at WCB... If you could do something to change the world... or someones lives, what would you do? Sleep Tight........I would like to start a support group, and start getting our stories out there for all of alberta to hear... There is alot more than just us out there that has been affected, Lets let people know that there is people out there and that we will not let WCB take over our lives and lets get our control back... Post Comment if you are interested...

  33. I do am on wcb. was on the internet looking to talk to some people with my same injury.
    To get some advice when i found this site,know i which i never found this site.From reading these blogs i am fucked just like the rest of you here.
    Put i am not one to give up maybe between us we can come up with a idea
    on what to do? I have already contacted some media however I am not all that good on the internet maybe there is someone here that would be willing to find a investigative reporter that might air our story If there is someone here that would be interested please get hold of me i will leave my email at the end of this message.
    So i might as well tell my story although it not much different then everyone else's will try to make it quick.
    On may 12 of this year i injuried my back in a very simple accident dont think there is any need to go into the details.
    for the first seven weeks wcb paid me $60 a week this small amount was because the company i was working for said i was hired on a part time base (seasonal worker in wcbs eyes).
    This was not the case in fact I was preparing to go out of town to work on a townhouse project for the same company,Two after i was injured i was fired.
    Because of the $60 a week that I was paid I got evicted from the house i was renting in edmonton,and had to move back to Victoria where I was also paying the rent on a house my wife and daughter where living in.In the process my work van dies and the little money I had saved i had to use to live on.
    OK THIS IS ALREAY GETTING WAY TO LONG EVEN FOR ME AND ALL IN ALL ITS JUST THE SAME OLD STORY MY REASON FOR BEING HERE IS LETS TRY TO DO SOME THING SURELY THERE MUST BE SOMEONE HERE THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO FIND A REPORTER AND GET THEM INVOLVED IF NOTHING ELSE THIS WIL MAKE A GREAT NEWS WORTHY STORY.

    Other than this i would like to speak with anyone that has had a back injury.

    you can contact me at vibh@live.com

    anyone else that wants to try to do some thing please contact me as well thanks

    Well my husband got hurt fell on the ice and broke hid back. After six months they cut him off and said go pump gas. He owns his own trucks and drives trucks. They then sent him a letter saying he was good to return to work at his normal job. So he went back about four months later worked for a few months and had to put chains on and ruptured to discs. Crazy asses. They send him to a doctor that takes a look at him. A look and says he is good to go and send him to physio. He just about had to be taken by ambulance because his blood pressure went though the sky. This is how much it hurt. He now has to take blood pressure medication and his heart stops sometimes. These WCB people are crazy very nasty with no compassion. He is up may 1 for the two year discovery. Should be interesting. His neck kills him all the time and cracks, he has ringing in his ears all the time, he blood pressure fluctuates, he takes pain killers., sleeping pills and can't work. That does not even count all the personal stuff he can't do. They will not get away with it. . I have a lot documented when they lied and bullshitted they are so bad they even sent formal letters outlying their lies. I heard that 15 workers and six doctors just quit this jan2013.

  66. I am another victim of WCBs organised criminal activities.

    I was inured 7 years ago, I suffered subluxed or dislocated hips ,bilateral hernias,lower lumbar issues,upper spinal issues,urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction and the entire constellation of symptomology associated with traumatic hip subluxation.


    I had my casemanager start the fraud on day one by choosing to ignore my injury dates doctors diagnosis of bilateral hip injuries,but she did choose to aknowledge the lesser of the injuries the low back strain.

    I was lied to by my employer who offered to send me to a clinic at their cost to have my hips treated ASAP.I signed an agreement form for my employer 24 hours after suffering a serious medical emergency to attend the Millard center,NOT knowing it was a WCB butcherhouse.

    I was signed into the Millard under a low back injury and forced to do work simulation weight bearing movements with sever and serious hip and lower body injuries,these injuries were compounded and heightened by this activivty I was forced to do. My casemanager knowingly enrolled me into a work simulation re-hab with clear evidence that I had prior greater injuries that would be compounded by this activivty.

    WCB lies,absolutely, the first thing one must do when discussing things with others about WCB is clearly define that they LIE---people must know this isnt clerical errors or unappy injured peoiple complaining.

    The doctors WCB uses are hired as contractors specificlly so they are working for WCB and by proxy cannot be sued by injured people,they LIE AS WELL.They cannot be sued,and they LIE.

    There arent tens of complaints or victims,there arent hundreds of victims,there are thousands upon thousands of victims all acroos this country.The police will not lay charges because they claim it is a civivl issue,even though fraud consistantly maintained causing dire and escalating bodily injury is a crime in Canada.


    The employers and Union representatives work with WCB when it is in their common interests.


    We have WCB,Doctors,Therapists,Psycologists,MRI techs,Ultra-sond techs and doctors ,lawyers,government officials and police all working together to undermine treatment of injured Albertans and canadians.This is not a singular type of crime,this is collusion at the highest levels.


    I respect the right to earn money,but working for WCB is a shame, and if the peiople working there stopped supporting the criminal activities it might help a bit, the problem is that they dont know the scope and impact of the damage their employer is doing,no one in canada with the exception of those injured workers and their families understand.I excluded the hundreds of thousands of doctors and health care workers,lawyers government officials ect who are very well aware of the atrocious crimes being committed against canadiasns. I left the Judicial System for last because ultimately it is the Judges themselves who allow this criminal enterprise to exist and to thrive, they are all very aware that it only takes one just decision to turn this tide,they just refuse to make those tough decisions.

    2. Hmm,Dr Weir examined me in the WCB office in Edmonton. He told me that he had never seen the type of injury I have to my sternum. He also explained that I have a Bifid xyphoid which had broken off from my sternum and I was lucky it broke outward (sticking out of my chest) instead of inward would have punctured my heart and killed me. I googled Bifid xyphoid and it is rare .005% of people are born with it. He cleared me for work and subsequent cut off from compensation. I was told by my adjudicator that they won't do surgery and I should be fine with this free floating piece of bone sticking out of my chest and be careful that nothing falls on my chest that could send this bone into my heart. Hi ho , off to work I go so I can support my family. Better up my accidental death benefits so my children will have enough money to Burry me.

  67. The only way, WCB can be brought to justice and made accountable to the working people is the political agitation and lobying to scrap this demon and evolve a more responsive and humane organization that cares for the working people.
    Secondly, under class action law suit, every person who is criminally negligent in discharging his or her duties honestly that could result in the bodily harm and make the claimant incapacitated for rest of the life, must be criminally charged severally and jointly and put those officers and medical consultants behind the bars . This way, they can be deterred to be criminally negligent.

  69. I also have an Alberta WCB claim for a back injury. I record all conversations pertaining to my claim. I have been denied benefits and medical payments for refusing to go to a WCB "return to work program". My case worker has been arbitrary and malicious and has ignored my healthcare providers recommendations. I will file a small claims suit naming my employer et al , and the WCB et al as a starting point and intend to go all the way. I can afford to.

  70. BEWARE INJURED WORKERS;
    I suffered severe spinal injuries; Of course WCB did everything possible to deny timely diagnosis é timely medical care;

    Due to the severe pain 10 out of 10 my doctor sent me to orthopedic surgeon, who would perform a physical examination to investigate my injuries;

    I was booked for spinal steroid injection; I was not warned of any side effects:

    I was NOT told the doctor was using medicine off label for the injection;

    I RECEIVED SPINAL INJECTION WITH CELESTONE and MARCAINE; BOTH THESE MEDICATIONS STATE RIGHT ON THE BOTTLE; NOT TO BE USED FOR SPINAL INJECTIONS !!! ONLY FOR INTRAMUSCULAR USE; INTRAMUSCULAR INJECTION ONLY;

    Due to this doctor using this medicine ( OFF LABEL ) I DEVELOPED SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS;
    Iatrogenic Injury ;
    CUSHINGOID SYNDROME;
    ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS;

    I am now forced to live out the rest of my life with +10 pain flares which are not controlled with 100 mg fentanyl pain patch;
    Adhesive Arachnoiditis is incurable spinal disease. The pain

  71. ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS PAIN IS DESCRIBED AS; Pain like Cancer Pain without the release of death; (I have lived several years and each year it gets worse; I am now, couch bound, 24-7; Literally a prisoner in my own house, afraid to go anywhere as when the pain flare starts, I must laydown, take huge doses of opiods, and wait - wait - wait; for it to settle down. The pain flare starts literally out of the blue, and progresses with any movement;
    DO NOT ALLOW ANY PHYSICIAN TO INJECT YOU WITH MEDICINE EVEN IF YOU ARE SUFFERING +10 PAIN, BECAUSE ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS WILL CAUSE +20 PAIN;
    JUST FINDING A DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE PAIN MEDS FOR MINIMAL RELIEF IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE; NO DOCTOR WANTS YOU AS A PATIENT, BECAUSE OF THE STIGMA OF OPIOD MEDICATION;

    ADHESIVE ARCHNOIDITIS CAN BE CAUSED FROM SPINAL TRAUMA;
    SPINAL OPERATION;
    BUT SPINAL INJECTIONS WITH; DEPRO MEDROL; KENALOG; CELESTONE; MARCAINE; AND OTHERS IS DOCUMENTED SIDE EFFECT; YET DOCTORS ARE STILL DOING INJECTIONS WITHOUT WARNING PATIENTS;

    YOUTUBE HAS MANY VIDEOS ABOUT ADHESIVE ARACHNOIDITIS;

  73. Re: Carpal Tunnel/Injured Hand Wrist Claims to WCB

    For at least 15 years the WCB has used a unit of measurement - called wrist motions per hour (wm/hr) - and the number of wm/hr a claimant incurred during his/her work duties. PROBLEM: Unit of measurement wm/hr is a bogus unit of measurement used only by WCB and is not recognized by any medical or scientific organization in the world. MOREOVER THE WCB DOES NOT HAVE (1)THE DEFINITION OR WHAT CONSITUTES EXACTLY A "WRIST MOTION" ANYWHERE ON THEIR SITE OR LITERATURE AND (2) DO NOT DEFINE WHAT METHODOLOGY IS USED TO CALCULATE A CLAIMANT'S WRIST MOTIONS/HER ON SITE OR IN LITERATURE..(3)SUPERVISOR OR OWNER OF BUSINESS WHERE CLAIMANT WORKED PROVIDES THE FIGURE FOR WM/HR OF CLAIMANT - W/NO METHODOLOGY GIVEN - SO THE NUMBER FOR WM/HR WHICH IS THE OVER RIDING DECIDING FACTOR ON CTS/HAND WRIST INJURIES ON ACCEPTED/REJECTED IS...NOTHING MORE THAN A "GUESS" BY CLAIMANTS' WORK SUPERVISOR/OWNER. HIGHLY DISTURBING , UNETHICAL, AND ILLEGAL FOR WCB TO DO THIS AND HAS DONE SO FROM AT LEAST EARLY 1990S to 2005/6....and quite possibly even up to currently.

  74. I am a 20 plus year employee of the Alberta WCB and worked as a Case Manager and Appeals Advisor during this time. I am now retired and found a job driving truck which was 3 days off and 4 days off. I then injured my shoulder in Nov 2013 at work and have a complete tear of the rotator cuff. WCB staff decided my injury did not happen at work, contrary to my doctor's opinion and specialist opinion. It seems I have to appeal each and every decision. I am now on my 10th appeal, which the staff at AB WCB do not forward. Despite medical opinion, and constant usage of oxycontin, that my shoulder injury was work related, WCB had me under surveillance. I suppose the question here is, what are they trying to prove? When I was a Case Manager at WCB, the worker came first and the WCB provided and honest and unbiased opinion. With these new case manager's they use their own judgment, do not follow the act, policy or procedure and simply decide that if they like you, you get benefits. If you create any waves, they cut you off. I am ashamed of having worked there for so long. All my clients while I was employed there, were treated with the respect they deserved, something the WCB of Alberta no longer uses.

  75. i need a good lawyer i want to sue the company and Alberta wcb , i injured myself twice working in
    luggage deportment, i took 3 months of work because i couldn't go back to work do to my lower back pain injure..

  78. I've been so upset and shocked by how WCB treats my work related injury - employer, three doctors all agree that my back and hip injury is from WCB. one thing clear is my back and hip injury is only from my work. Then WCB says that I don't have enough evidence to support and today rejected my claim. I can appeal but as I could read others' comments, the appeal commission is still under WCB alberta, isn't it? then how could they be independent and advocate of injured? I'm going to talk to my work union. I heard they have somebody dealing with WCB. I also heard from WCB that I may lose a job due to my injury. Although it could be true, they don't have any Right to tell me whether I lose my job or not. I thought WCB is made for workers. But I don't know what they work for? really?

  80. Alberta WCB needs to be brought down to their knees and our response needs to be in blood. The system is failing us everyday in all aspects of this country and the loopholes created by our government allow the Wcb to continue to act against our best interests. How a so openly fraudulent organization can exist without our elected officials stepping in is beyond belief. The story of the gunman that entered into Wcb Edmonton had brought a smile to my face that day. I would love for them to see the same amount of pain they have left us all in for the simple reasoning of a bonus system. A fucking bonus system. It immediately builds corruption. What more than obscure forums and story swapping do we have to find justice in this? Fuck this organization and fuck this country for allowing it. We need to answer in blood!

  81. maybe its time the employers in this province got togeather and told WCB to go to hell... oh wait i forgot they are there to keep the employers from being sued from the injured employees, just another board of wealthy individuals getting paid a great deal of money to denie injured employees compensation. Nice work if you can gat it.

So I went and got another MRI and had his counter parts point it out they made him address the chips.The WCB sent in a x-ray of other hip and trys to twist the x-ray around left leg vs right leg.Getit.Now in the appeals bs and well I like evidence it what tightens the loose around neck.So ask for the videos there taking of you get a copy mailed to you and be patient cause the end of there game is near cause this is going to make the news with names and finger pointing going on.

  87. For All those having problems with WCB. I had a big problem as well. An injured shoulder which WCB pretty much ignored. After two years of getting jerked around I went to my local MLA who happened to be one of the few elected members of the NDP, David Eggen. My claim had been closed but a call from one of Mr Eggen's staff members convinced them to reopen my file. It took close to a year but I did get a good sum of cash from them. But as usual things are are never what your led to expect with WVB and I believe they still owe me around $20,000 There is some other BS happening as well but the point is try going to your MLA. They might be able to help, especially since most are NDP members now. I say that cause a friend with a similar problem went to her MLA who was not NDP and they wouldn't even look at her. One last thing. I read in in one post the suggestion that we all band together and try to change the way WCB does business. It's a thought. If anyone is interested send me an Email ken0sd@yahoo.ca

  89. appauled...WCB is the most evil agency I've ever come across.They are so worried about injured workers scamming them lol meanwhile they are the ones who are the scammers.How do they get away with all the lies,intimidation,humiliation,dissapearing documents,changing of dates,re-wording paperwork,as well as only using "their"Doctors decisions when most of the time the worker is never even seen by their Doctors.WORKERS COMPENSATION BOARD are they kidding,they are in no way about the injured workers.Why do they not answer to anyone?And why are they able to ruin lives of people that PAY into WCB.And most of all why are we not all doing something about this?The Governmet has made it impossible to get any help from anywhere,so why do we even pay our taxes!!!! I see many people on here writing with the same grievances,it's terrible that all workers seem to be the Governments puppets.They take take take and tell us to get lost if we need their help.HELLO government that's what we pay for.It's amazing to me that the poor keep the rich going lol.Pathetic.Please someone tell me if my voice can help in any way,or if you have started a movement that I can be a part of:)

  91. Wow ... I was aware of wcb before I got hurt, but boys and girls its worse when you are hurt. I was injured and cleared by wcb doctors with mild strain. that was 5 years ago. launched one appeal and lost. launched another and won ... sort of .. back pay was made at 17% of wage they agreed on. Then my case worker stated to me that she had to immediately removed 40 percent of that because I would have gotten raises in this fictitious job she has me doing on paper to reduce her costs..now currently living off 10%. Boy this sounds similar to other stories.. All I can say is if your hurt... never give in never give up.. ive had my "CARE" worker since replaced. about to start all over again. by the way they have changed, falsified documents and (I have no proof) purchased the opinion change of a specialist. There is of course more but ... ill save for my next call in about 15 minutes.

  92. Do people not realize that the case managers get a bonus for keeping their claims under a certain amount. Their doctors are paid by WCB and coached at what WCB wants them to say. WCB is owned by some jewish people in the USA and somehow managed to get the government to pass legislation on what WCB is responsible for. I, myself, suffered a severe knee injury at work in 2007 and have torn ligaments in the knee. I am now unable to work due to the degeneration of the knee and suddenly WCB does not acknowledge the torn ligaments that have never healed and are trying to say that I have severe arthritis in the knee and that is the problem. The doctor I seen was as useless as a can be and refused to send me for an MRI to see what kind of damage still is there for the ligaments. The last one I had done in 2010 showed the ligament damage was still there and not healing at all. No MRI means that his bogus diagnosis of arthritis stands because i cannot prove otherwise, in order to get an MRI, I will have to wait up to 6 months through my DR. WCB could get me in a lot quicker, but is unwilling to do so, because then I will go back at them for paying me.

  93. I'm been dealing with WCB since 1997 and since I believe I have been dealing with the devil.
    There doctors are nothing more than WCB whores, the case workers are uncaring cold people that should be working in a concentration camp. When you get hurt on the job you might as well stay down because anytime you think you may get up, they'll kick you down again.

  94. im a health and safety officer at a construction company. in the last 2 months alberta wcb has accepted 2 claims from 2 of our workers. 1 cannot prove he was at work when he claims he was injured. he did not sign the daily hazard assessment and did not sign the site sign in sheet yet wcb accepted his claim and told me that he doesnt have to prove he was injured at work,they take his word for it. the second person who claims to have been injured was fine at the end of the day he claims he was injured. he did not report the injury, did not go to a ois clinic until i told him too. after that his claim was accepted. he got months of physio and wage replacement and refused modified duties and has not contacted us once since a week after he saw wcb. wcb is now going to pay for career training for this person even though they refused modified duties and refuses to contact us. all i'm seeing is people abusing the wcb system. they will accept any claim even if the person cannot prove they were at work when injured so i don't understand what you all are talking about. i'm watching workers fake injuries,not report them until weeks later(you have 2 years to report injuries) and then refuse modified duties and still get paid out for months plus career retraining!!!! wcb needs to stop doing this!!! both of these cases the person worked for us for less than one month. in one case the person is not even an hourly employee they are subcontracted. my next vote goes to whomever promises wcb reform and to help stop workers scamming the system!

Why is it that it is never the employers fault or they find a way to try and say it's not work related. Maybe if health and safety did their jobs properly ensuring that safety is kept up and I don't just mean by the workers I mean the employers. At this site health and safety are one of the biggest reasons injured workers are down longer than they should have been. All assholes and don't give a shit about the health and safety of the worker and only there for the Employer. 90 % of you shouldn't even have the title of Health and Safety. Disgusting.

  95. WCB Alberta case managers committed insurance fraud when they fabricated stories about my condition and told a medical consultant that story when they paid for their opinion. The appeals board ignored the truth accepted the lies and denied me benefits for a ruptured disc as well as other herniated and crushed discs. Where can you get help fighting the corrupt corporation called WCB. The minister responsible was sent a condemning letter in 2001 about the way WCB Alberta handle the cars and did nothing to help. I claim that makes him an accessory after the fact. I believe the people that work for WCB are the ones who pull the wings and legs off bugs just to see them struggle.
    I have nothing nice to say about the service from WCB Alberta. The acronym for WCB should be We are Cheating Bastards. Or We Cheat you out of Benefits.

  96. I was working in a homeless drop in in downtown Edmonton when I was thrown into a cast iron post. I have had numerous doctors, therapists, and psychologists try to get me help to get appropriate tests, and time to rest. I was seen by a WCB neurologist when I still very severely concussed, and nobody was with me to help. The neurologist was asking me question after question, and I could not even figure out what she was asking me. If I failed to respond, or said "I don't know" she marked my answer as 'no'. I have a severe concussion, and spinal injuries. They refuse anything but basic testing, and any results that confirm my medical situation they say have been caused by old age. That's funny because I did the job of a twenty year old before I was injured.

    They have given me time off work, but I only get $848.00 a month as I was only working part-time while I studied psychology. I was on the honor roll, and now I can barely write a paper well enough to summon a D, and they are trying to force me back to work by January 29, 2016. Sometimes I can't stand upright. They will not even return my calls or my emails, or psychologist's calls, or my general practitioner's call. They have also refused to provide further therapy. I have plateaued on all fronts, and they are cutting me off. I can't help but feel that one day they will have to answer for their treatment of the injured.

  98. I am 35 yrs old and have suffered an ankle injury that has not resolved. When i first got injured WCB seemed great. They immediately sent me to a physio therapist and then to an occupational rehab program. But when my injury didn't quickly resolve things took a sudden turn. They completely cut me off without any notice. They called me up and said that they decided that my injury was "resolved" (They couldn't tell me exactly what that meant though?).This despite the fact that three separate physio therapists (including the one at the rehab program which was employed by WCB) and my doctor all reported that i was still injured and specifically said that i would be unable to return to my previous position. I worked in construction and i cant even stand for more than a couple hrs a day before the pain starts to accumulate.

    During my final conversation with my case worked she completely stonewalled all my questions. She wouldn't explain how the decision was reached or defend her position at all.And definitely would not consider any of the bs retraining they brag about on their web site.

    But despite all this the thing i am most angry about is the constant little attempts at manipulation. They are constantly try to trick you into incriminating yourself in some way. I was told that the only way they would reconsider my case is if i sought out another opinion from a specialist (a blatant lie) and that i had to appeal within 90 days. As im sure you all already know, getting in to see a specialist in that amount of time is basically impossible. This was their first trick to try to make me go away. And now their trying to financially "sweat me out", delaying the appeals and getting extensions.

    I cant believe they get away with treating people this badly. I have always disdained other countries that allow people to be tossed out like trash, when did Canada become one of them?

    The Meredith Principles which the Government Created and Legislated- gave up the Workers Right to Sue and Employer for Negligence- Yet; the Government is allowed to Sue Employers for Negligence and Profit- under Bill C-45- Which was Created because of the Westray Mine Disaster; which was the Result of Poor Government Oversight and Poor Working Conditions, in which 26 miners has lost their lives...

    Even today the Government neglects the Safety or Workers and allows the Asbestos Industry to Jeopardize lives:

  111. I waited months to find out what was going on with my shoulders, went for an MRI, then saw a specialist that told me that it was urgent for me to get surgery on my shoulders, before I would loose the use of my arms, as the damage was severe. He also told me that this was a result of repetitive movement as I'm right handed, and my left shoulder was in worst shape. I've done the same job for almost ten years, and that would be where I was doing the same motions daily using both arms. This dragged out for months, and I had to help them with their investigation, by adding crutual information that they over looked. I finally got a decision on my claim by phone, and was told that I was denied, and that age was to blame. I guess my specialist didn't know what he was talking about, and should consult WCB next time before making a diagnose. I have more faith in what the specialist saw in the MRIs, then someone without medical training. They were also aware that because of the chronic pain that I was having, I was battling depression, and recovering from an attempted suicide. I was never offered any help or direction to deal with this as my claim was being decided.It's sad when you go to work every day of your life, and when your I need of help to save the use of your arms, they turn a blind eye to save money, and probably earn a big bonus for it. I'm appealing it as I have no choice to save me from loosing the use of my arms, so again I will have to deal with the stress of it. I wish they would be kind enough to cover the cost of my medications as I can barely afford to live on what I'm getting.

  114. I recently broke my leg at work in a slip and fall. The worst part of the whole thing has been WCB. I recorded the phone calls I have with them and sent them to my MLA. The WCB adjudicator was so verbally abusive it appears to be a joke. MLA doesn't want to hear it. WCB is a mess, is there any oversight? I would rather have no coverage then know that people get paid to do what they do. I would much rather have the right to sue my employer.

    its like that for many injured workers,we all are living the same nightmare,When the Wcb Review Board is done and the Premier does or does not do the right thing,They all known whats going on with wcb since they entered politics,so they are all just as guilty,One set of laws,rules,regulations for government,that makes us the alberta worker second class citizens,other wise there would be fraud,perjury,collusion,conflict of interest,abuse of power,breach of trust etc etc etc etc etc etc all concerning the actions of wcb and several government departments covering it up,or for each other,the laws,rules,regulations of canada are supposed to be equal for all citizens,Its time to elect total new government that will up hold the laws,rules,regulations of Alberta and Canada,David,s story WITCHHUNTdotCA is David,s story by the entirety,documents,recordings,You can read and listen to any detail of David,s journey of corruption with the Wcb that can not be denied,Lists every law,rule,regulations violated by all,David, is still and always will be totally disabled from his injuries,Wcb claims fit for work,the evidence will explain,

Wcb and their employees Drs case manegers everyone there are corrupt ! What do you expect from a government so called insurance company ! The only thing that they insure is there pocket book ! It's bad when we are considered one of the best Countries in the world and we screw all those who are forced to be on wcb ! People take out your own insurance because wcb is a lying stealing cheating joke! And yet the Government says oh we need all sorts of trades because we are short we'll guess why ? You steal from us only to benifit yourself and drop injured workers like a hot rock ! Good job people I hope you can live with yourself after wrecking other innocent lives !!!

  118. what we have uncovered with wcb is a total breach of trust,abuse of power,conflict of interest,securities fraud,the Wcb review board results have gone to the Premier,Its up to her to either fix wcb legally for past,present and future injured workers or side for her rich friends in government taking advantage of their positions,One way or the other,NON confidence
    vote can be arranged,plus past governments that allowed this to happen will never be voted in again once the truth comes out,those profiting at injured workers expense and securities fraud
    in the government,As Trump would say,Time to drain the swamp and hold those accountable,as well YOUR FIRED,So its time for a new party,new government,new Premier,someone for the people that will uphold the laws,rules,regulations for all Alberta workers,One set of laws for all,

  123. I GAVE EMINENT JOSH A CHANCE TO FAIL JUST LIKE OTHERS : BUT HE PROVED ME WRONG BY GRANTING ME A LOAN joshloancompany@gmail.com OR +1(215)-874-8060

    Its really teeming with scammers on the internet, really not normal. In one week I lost $11,750 for payments. I had inquiries made at Dandy Cash.com and it came just disappointed. I've been a victim of several con-artist who scammed me until I finally found someone who was still honest (Eminent Josh loans...joshloancompany@gmail.com). Frankly i thought it would go the same way just like those before him, I was a little hesitant and skeptical but considering the dwindling situation of my life in general, I had no other choice other than to go through with the loan with Josh and expecting him to fail; so I took the risk anyway and I was able to borrow from him $75,000 suprisingly. Therefore, I'm pleading and soliciting to you out there whom might probably be in a similiar financial mess to do business with Eminent Josh or else risked been ripped off like those before Josh did to me and run away with my hard earned money. EMINENT JOSH is the only one i trust because he gave me the loan i needed were others failed, do not contact anyone else other than Josh because they might be scams whom pretend to be loan lenders they rip people of their hard earned money, the U.S. Attorney General are searching for this guys to penalize them for their evil act. so don't contact these guys and thereby promoting their nefarious vices in our society, they will only rip you off like they did to me. FOR YOUR SAFETY AND GOOD CONTACT EMINENT JOSH on joshloancompany@gmail.com or better alternative you can text/call the company rep on 215-874-8060

  124. The difficulty with most complaints is that they don't come forward in the correct manner. We have worked with WCB clients for over 20 years, and have been very successful with the Appeals Commission. The internal appeal board, the Dispute Resolution and Decision Review Body is another matter. One can expect the internal board to uphold the unfair decisions of the Case Managers.

    Another problem with complaints coming forward is that they come forward as "individual" complaints and issues. While this works at the Appeals Commission, complaints must take a different format at the Government Level. At the government level, complaints must be framed in a way that the Government can see how they affect Albertans as a whole. If this does not happen, then the Government, including the Ombudsman, cannot do anything.

    The Panel Review was, in our estimation, a total failure. The problem that the Review Committee had was that the WCB hid behind FOIPP legislation, and would not release the names of WCB workers so that the Committee could speak to a random sampling of clients. Had this happened, the Panel would have found a 100% dissatisfaction rate, we are almost certain of it. Unfortunately, when the Panel Committee advertised for people to come forward, THE RESPONSE WAS PATHETIC, and the vast majority of the few people who did come forward would not allow their names to be used nor would they release personal evidence for fear of retribution. This meant the Panel had to arrange meetings throughout the Province to get feedback- & that turned out quite poorly. People just would not come forward because they feared reprisal from the WCB.

    We understand the frustration. But the Government cannot make change without evidence to make that happen. The current NDP government is the ONLY government that can make changes for the better. The current WCB was set up by the PC government, and they allowed horrific abuse by the WCB. Notley ordered the review as it is her firm, firm belief that the current WCB needed change - it is disappointing to see so so many complaints on this blog, and yet I ask - Where were you when it counted? Where were all the "courageous" people that were needed to force change to occur?

    We agree that the system needs change and needs it fast. But the response of Albertans was disappointing & discouraging. I personally am horrified that NO ONE would allow their evidence to be used because of fear of reprisal from the WCB. Courage is not the absence of fear, but having fear and still doing the right thing. How very disappointing that Albertans would not stand up to be counted when the NDP made sure that they had a chance to do so.

    1. The approval process for these investigations was in person out of pocket. Effectively any transient worker, who has been a victim of the system would have to fork out a grand and appear to tell his story. Apparently documentary base, webinars aren't sufficient? Not too mention the numerous workers having issues getting off their couch from pain. NDP is your solution now when they need votes, next will be conservative! Some changes were implemented such as if you're injured past 2018 the wage cap was raised to 150k. However it is not retroactive , leaving a large amount of workers who fought for these changes, digging for change in their pockets for the next travel expense to future panels to oversee the WCB. It is no wonder each day around noon and before the end of the day K9 and security check their vehicles for explosive devices in the parking lot of millard institute in Edmonton. There are a tremendous amount of people being wronged

  125. We hate the current system - but it looks like it won't change because no one came forward and allowed their personal evidence to be used, nor did they come forward with anything other than private problems. The Panel Review was not meant to be another Appeals Commission, but that is what it ended up being.

    As a result of Albertans not coming forward in the way that was needed, the Panel Review findings are weak. We are very very certain that the Government has withheld its response for so long because they are trying to figure out how to make changes without the evidence that they needed. The opposition is PC at heart. They wrote the legislation and allowed this abusive system to operate with impunity for over 20 years. The NDP has to fight to make changes and they needed evidence. What happened? Where were all you people when it counted?

    Anyways, IF ALBERTANS WANT CHANGE, THEN VOTE THE NDP IN AGAIN AT THE NEXT ELECTION, because they are the ONLY hope that we have of forcing change in the WCB. COME FORWARD WITH YOUR EVIDENCE IN A WAY THAT AFFECTS OTHERS - STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AND NOT JUST A WHINING WINNIE. For example, if your case manager abuses you, take HARD evidence forward, not just a verbal complaint. Get your claim file and search through it for evidence in the Case File notes. The people who staff the WCB are not the brightest bulbs in the pack. If you pressure them to make the right decision, they will cover their behinds in the Case File notes and you will find evidence. When the WCB Case Managers twist the words of doctors, tell them. If they don't correct it - that's a FOIPP violation that can go forward to the Information & Privacy Commissioner. If you are missing benefits, ask who they have been paid to. If you don't get a response, get the Cost Runs from the WCB on your claim. If money has been paid out, but not to you, ask who it was paid to. If the WCB won't tell you, file a FOIPP complaint and a complaint with the Ombudsman. If the MIllard causes you more injuries, file complaints with the Colleges that the staff belong to. Therapists and physicians are all accountable under the Health Professions Act. BUT YOU MUST DOCUMENT EVERYTHING - NOT JUST COMPLAIN VERBALLY OR ON THIS BLOG.

    Make sure you document, document, document EVERYTHING. By that I mean if the case manager is being petty and vindictive, write a letter to the Case Manager, Case Manager's supervisor, and the DRDRB. Make sure that you respond, IN WRITING to the WCB on every little thing - they will hang themselves eventually.

    But verbal complaints fall on deaf ears. So calling to complain DOESN'T WORK because the Case Managers lie and write down that you agreed with them anyways. YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOU DOCUMENT THIS. That way there is a written record of your complaint. And when you file that complaint, MAKE SURE THAT YOU SEND IT THROUGH THE CUSTOMER CONTACT CENTRE AND THE MANAGER OF THAT DEPARTMENT because Case Managers and corrupt supervisors keep written complaints and appeal documents off the claim files.

    It's a very very hard road and difficult process. It is UNFAIR AND ridiculous that a person who is struggling with an injury, pain and everything else, must do these things. BUT UNLESS YOU DO THEM, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WIN OR TO PROVE YOUR CASE.

  126. Trust me - we have a 100% track record at the Appeals Commission. And remember, ONLY the DRDRB is internal and tied to the WCB directly. They are basically a rubber stamp for the bad decisions that have been made. But the APPEALS COMMISSION is totally, totally separate from the WCB. By law, they have to be on your side, and give you the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. Right now, they are fighting for their jobs because the WCB Case Managers WILL NOT ISSUE WRITTEN DECISIONS. If they don't issue written decisions, the issue cannot be appealed to the Appeals Commission. The WCB has found a loophole to exploit - if written decisions are not issued, the worker cannot appeal to the Appeals Commission - so numbers of appeals are down HUGELY - & the WCB is claiming that this is a SUCCESS and proof that they are doing such a great job.

    So we know that all of you out there are just not approaching this the right way. Please start documenting things. Get a copy of the WCB Legislation and the WCB Policy Manual. Force the WCB to issue written decisions and hold them to the Legislation and Policies. If they won't adhere to either, and they won't, because they are thumbing their noses at every single law that they are supposed to follow -THEN, and ONLY THEN, will your case be heard and dealt with in the way you want it to be.

    ReplyDelete
  127. You can win...You can.. Talk to people who have won. Find out how to approach this. The WCB is responsible for any costs relating to the resolution of your claim. I know its hard, but sometimes you need to put out a bit of money to get professional help.

    If you can't afford professional help, there are Appeals Officers at the WCB who will help you. They are paid by the WCB, but they are independent or we have found them to be. By law, they are supposed to be independent but people often shy away from them because they believe them to be biased. Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, they have a very large case load, and it can take a very long time to get your issues settled. But patience is the key.

    Good luck everyone!

  129. The laws set forth by the PC Government for WCB Alberta must be changed. We must support our NDP Government to do so. Only we have the power to rally together to get 10,000 signatures and get a reading in parliament. Lobby our new Government for change. Too many people are suffering. We must choose a day of the year to picket in front of WCB. A day of quiet awareness for all to see. All who are affected by WCB of Canada should unite. Together we can make a difference. Together we become strong. We don't have to suffer alone. We can suffer together to make change. Go on You Tube and listen Alberta's new NDP leader talk about WCB Alberta. It will open your eyes.

  135. As a business owner, my experience so far with WCB, they are the biggest legal government scam organization in Canada. Unfortunately I had to sign up with those douche bags because the contracts I have with several companies that work with various government agencies requires it. Somehow I refused to pay their demand amount to sign up for them. Apparently, they have the power to seize all company assets (Bank account, Car, Land/Property, etc.) . But when it comes to asking money from them legitimately, they give you hard time, and you have to work really hard for it despite the fact you are paying them from every paycheck. Personally I think any government programs to take advantage of is just a way of dangling the carrot in favor of those that wants money and don't like to work, rather than those that can't work.

  143. I broke my ankle in June of 2018 and it still bothers me to this day. I have called and spoke to WCB about my ankle and the response I got was...keep working till you can see somebody. I am partially disabled because of this injury at work. I can no longer run, skate or any other thing that requires my right ankle. I have limited rotation and have lost most use of my ankle. I know already that I will be told its in my head OR WILL BE DENIED. I have already experienced this from a back injury that occurred while I worked on the oil rigs...the WCB doctor told them and me that it was hereditary but yet the hospital, physio and family doctor all new it was a work related injury. But WCB doctors said different and that's what they care about. It blows my mind how WCB doctors can override another doctor that has the same qaulification as a WCB doctor. A doctor is a doctor weather they are orthopedic surgeons or in our health system or if they work for WCB. WCB is the exact same as your home or car insurance company. They don't want to pay and that's that. WCB is not work the hassle. We the people need to come together and make our own insurance for us workers as all that's gonna happen is we will keep getting screwed.
