What happens if the equipment needs to be altered or replaced?
Job Modification Pre-Job Accommodation Existing modifications may be altered or replaced only if: • The claim is open or in statutory pension status; and • There is still some money from the initial modification; and • The worker’s condition or the job duties that were modified have changed; or The initial modification must be enhanced to meet the worker’s restrictions imposed by the accepted industrial condition. The adjudicator may consider authorizing alteration or replacement of the equipment only if: • The claim is in open or statutory pension status, and • Funds remain for the same job goal, and • The worker’s condition has changed; or The initial accommodation requires enhancement to meet the worker’s restrictions imposed by the accepted industiral condition. If more economical, the adjudicator may replace rather than alter or repair the equipment.
