The Workers Compensation Act (the Act) establishes the framework for reconsideration of the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB) decisions. Reconsideration is an internal review of a WCB decision, conducted by someone other than the primary-decision maker. In most cases, reconsideration is required before a WCB decision may be appealed to the Appeal Commission.
This policy identifies the types of decisions the WCB will and will not reconsider, the principles governing reconsiderations, and the basic features of the reconsideration process.
Applies to requests for reconsideration received between the above dates.
