What Is a WSIB Claim File?
A claim and file is established when you report a work-related injury or disease to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB). Every claim has a number. WSIB employees will request your claim number every time you talk to them. The claim file is divided into sections separated by blue title pages. Each section of the file starts with the most recent document and then goes back in time. The claim file includes these sections: Memorandums (memos) – This section contains decisions, WSIB doctors’ opinions and notes of telephone calls and meetings with you, your employer, your doctor, and others connected to your claim. The memos are all numbered. You should refer to these numbers when you contact WSIB employees about specific memos in your claim file. Forms – This section contains the accident report forms from you, your doctor and your employer. If your file does not contain this section, the forms can probably be found at the front of the “Medical Reports” section. Medical Reports
