How do I make a claim for benefits?
To make a claim for benefits you must fill out and arrange to have
filled out a number of forms.
Doctor’s First Report - Form 8
Your doctor will have to fill out a Form 8, which he or she will send
to the Board. Your doctor will probably have this form.
Functional Abilities Form
This is another form that your doctor will have to fill out. Your
employer will have copies of this form that you can provide to your
doctor.
Employer’s Report of Injury/Disease - Form 7
Form 7 will be filled out by your employer. This form must be filled
out and filed with WSIB within 3 days of the injury or illness. You
will be asked to sign the section of the form that gives your doctor
permission to give your employer information about your functional
abilities.
Your employer must give you a copy of the completed Form 7.
Make sure that your employer has correctly described the accident
and your injuries and that all your wages have been listed.
Worker’s Report of Injury/Disease - Form 6
If you have signed the Form 7 and it has been sent to WSIB then
your claim has been officially filed. However, if this has not been
done you must fill out and file Form 6.
On this form you will explain in detail of what caused your injury or
illness. Form 6 must be sent to the WSIB within six months of the
accident or illness. You should consider filing Form 6 even if your
employer has filed a Form 7 that you have signed.
