How do I go about showing the WSIB Tribunal that I am permamently disabled and what would I be entitled to, I will be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Currently I get $62.50 per week from WSIB. Am I entitled to more per week or entitled to another sum from the Tribunal, I dont know how the Tribunal works.
My name is Tina LeBlanc, I was a PSW for 17 years with 4 years off work to go to college with WSIB paying to go to college. After going to college for 4 years I was not able to find employment that I was trained for. I had to find empoloyment doing home healthcare because I had bills to pay. I was getting about $480 per week from WSIB while in school. Once I was done school I was given a month to find work, after the month was over my WSIB was based on my earnings and they changed my payment from WSIB to $53.00 per week. I was only able to work parttiime, because of my workplace injury. After working parttime for 5 years my condition got worse and I was not able to work. I told my empployer that I had a old workplace injury that wasc again acting up. WSIB told me that I did not have to tell the new employer that I had a workplace injury when starting a new job. When I had to stop working permitly, the employer tried to blame it on a car accident that I was in, I unjured my right hand but didnot not get treated for my back as a result of the accident. Now currently I have not worked in 7 years, my condition has gotten progressively worse, I am in a wheel chair fulltime, I had surgery on my neck and on my back. I was starting to get a bit better after my back surgery, but my sciatica pain has gotten so bad that I am not able to walk. I have not balance or strength in my legs and have pain in my talebone and buttocks everyday the pain never goes away. My buttocks and legs, feet are numb and Im not able to walk. My lawyer has appeals with the WSIB for my neck and back surgery, but WSIB is denying the claim. I was told by doctors that I needed surgery because of repeditive bending lifting and twisting. I my injury srarted in m legs, then went to my back and then started affecting my balance witch I was told was my neck. Currectly my Lawyer has my appeals going to the WSIB Tribunal, tghe tribunal is saying that I have to attend a meeting to talk about my situation. I am completely disabled in a wheel chair full time have numbness in my arms hands and legs, buttocks. How do I talk about my injuries and be sure that they know that I am telling them the truth, I dont want them to think I am faking my injuries and just want to be treated farely. What am I entitled to I have told that this is cause by a workplace injury and now the injury has caused me to be disabled permanetly. How does the Tribunal handle cases were a persons has to testify.
