What Is the Application Process?
- Completed forms are returned to the Board. The Board depends on you to provide properly completed forms to begin the application process. If you submit partially completed forms or fail to return all of the original forms that were mailed to you this will result in a delay.
- Your information is entered into the Board’s computer system. If there are corrections that need to be made or if further information is required, the Board staff will contact you to discuss/obtain clarification.
- A Compensation Analyst is assigned to your file. The Compensation Analyst will review the forms and decide what information will be required to support your claim. After this review a letter will be sent to let you know what other information is needed.
At this stage the analyst will guide you to provide the Board with information to support your claim. This includes any hospital, medical, dental, therapy and/or court reports directly related to the incident. The Board will be requesting original receipts. The Board will only pay for reports it has requested from the claimant. - Police information is gathered. If this incident was reported to the police, the Board will contact the police service involved and request a written report.
- File is complete. When all the required material has been received, the analyst will write to let you know that the file is complete and ready to be scheduled for a hearing.
Please note, a claim may not be scheduled for a hearing until all police investigations and/or court cases have been completed. The decision to proceed will be made on a case by case basis.
