A WorkSafeBC officer will examine your claim and decide if you get benefits, and if so, the type and amount. WorkSafeBC won’t decide about any permanent disability until your condition becomes stable, meaning that it stays the same and does not get any better or worse. | A WorkSafeBC officer will examine your claim and decide if you get benefits, and if so, the type and amount.

Deciding whether you get benefits can be complicated. You should discuss your case with your union, a lawyer, or the Workers’ Advisers Office. Workers’ Advisers work for the Ministry of Labour and Citizens’ Services to help workers with their claims. They are separate from WorkSafeBC and there’s no charge for their service. Their website is www.labour.gov.bc.ca/wab and their phone numbers are 604.713.0360 in Vancouver and 1.800.663.4261 elsewhere in BC. | Deciding whether you get benefits can be complicated.
