The Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba

Hey we have had the most horrible experience with compensation in Winnipeg. My husband has been a mechanic 23+ years doing the same repetitive work for all those years his shoulder was bothering him he had an MRI shows you lose the tendons hanging from that are that are use this 23 years to do his job so now he needs surgery, we applied for compensation and they did Nied us but yet But yet in the paperwork that they sent us they said at one point that it was not done at work and on the other hand in the same paperwork they said it was done at work. We have gotten letters from the surgeon the chiropractor that my doctor all stating that his injury could’ve been caused from doing repetitive overhand work he does not go to the gym he is not any physical activity it is because of his work and now how dare they did Nied my husband who never stays home sick, we are going to appeal and we are going to fight this to the bitter end if we need to hire a lawyer we definitely will I was on their website and it says only 92% of the people apply for compensation get excepted and that is baloney we are not giving up so hope to hear from you compensation ASAP and maybe overlook my husband’s file his name is Dave Peters born 1969 of May 2 who lives in Winkler Manitoba or 6W1G7 we are not stopping till we get some Flippin answers thank you from his wife who will knock , We are not backing off it is not fair re-read it figured out

Thank you all, especially to Stephanie Reid for timely manner of assessing my benefits. Well done!

Helpful at a very difficult time.

Although assaulted by a shop lifter at my place of work on June 14/18, it wasn't until July 5 that I heard from my Adjudicator. I had left a previous message requesting he give me a call, but it was only when I phoned WCB's main line, that I managed to get through to him. After assuring me that a cheque would be ready the next day "at 3pm" and reassuring me that it would be there when I expressed surprise at the speed with which a payment would be made, I arrived this afternoon to find that no cheque had been drawn up. When I spoke with my Adjudicator after a half hour wait in their lobby and after confirming with the front desk that his notes did indicate that a cheque would be ready, he claimed that we had an "agreement" that my getting the payment was dependant upon his speaking with my employer. No such "agreement" was mentioned during my phone call and had he simply told me that I would have to wait until he spoke with my manager I would have understood. Had he called me during the day and explained his change of plans, I would have been disappointed, but still understanding. Instead, his assurance that I could pick up a cheque resulted in my driving through rush hour traffic simply for the purpose of discovering that my Adjudicator has still not spoken with my employer three weeks after my assault, didn't seem interested in speaking with me unless I called their main line, and left me with another assurance that he would call my employer on Monday. Later this afternoon, I learned that part of the reason I had to wait so long to speak with him in person was due to his calling my employer to get the information he needed to draw up my cheque while I was actually waiting downstairs to speak with him - in other words, he waited until approximately half an hour after he told me to come down to pick up this cheque to speak with my employer to discuss what my wage is. The worst part of this process is the fact that once I've been assigned an Adjudicator, I have to stick with him regardless of his lack of competency and interest. As it stands now, I'll likely have to return to work sooner than I should just to earn the living wage Worker's Comp is incapable of assisting with.

Very nice building.
