Workers' Compensation Board of Nova Scotia

They took a cut of my pay even tho I got nothing through them and was back to work with a broken bone the next day. Personally they did absolutely nothing for me.

Was hurt at age of 19. Long story short, was treated for a wrist sprain at first, which turned out to be Complex Regional Pain Syndrome after further study. I have seen many doctors, specialists and occupational therapists who all agree on my condition. But WCB likes the sprain diagnosis so all my new medical is ignored it seems. Refused a return to work program that I didn't meet 10% weight requirement to do and my doctors and therapists all backed me up with reports and letters. WCB claims I should have done it anyway, despite my doctors and physiotherapist claiming it was unsafe. I have spent the last 15 years trying hopelessly to work jobs like security but my injury causes me to miss a lot of work and I keep getting let go. I live in constant pain. I am always worried I will end up homeless with one wrong turn. WCB workers lie to you constantly and will do anything they can to end your claim. Protect yourself and get everything in writing and record your phone calls with them.

I've personally had very positive and helpful interactions. My case worker is fantastic.

Cadeworkers pudh you into RTW way too fast.they treaten to take your benefits if you do not do as they say.Act like their given free money.Employeed pay into this.also will not pain for medication.Bullies.not pleased with you.

They are the worst people to deal with ever. I'm the one still with all the pain not them but what do I know it's my body.They put me back to work in 2006 and I've never been the same.I deal with pain in my neck and arms and now my whole body aches because of what they made me do cleaning can you imagine my armed were hurting so bad and then my hips legs .I can say they even had someone taking pics of me like they think I'm stupid you people are not a doctor so stop thinking you are, you are only labor workers because you have no idea how my life is has been and I blame you people. Stop hurting people.

Easy process,great people

I was injured at work over 2 years ago, I was misdiagnosed by the occupational nurse at work and now I live with the pain on a daily basis, I went through tier 1,2&3 and ended up with more injuries then when I went into the program, I was told there is nothing more they can do I will have to deal with the pain, I have had denervation to 8 facet joints to help with the pain, they worked for a period of time but the pain is now back, I have taken a cut in pay by giving up 20% of my full time job because I can not handle the pain, I have called my case worker and she never gets back to me, I was hurt on the job, I went through all the programs that was offered and now I suffer with other issues do to my body trying to compensate with the pain. I feel frustrated with the system. I had to have my Dr. put me on modified hours, 2 days on and 1 day off just to get through the week and I have been living on IB Profin for the past 2 years which is no longer working, I tried celebrex and had a lot of side effects. I am only 43 and have many years of work left, how and I going to make it the next 24 years if I can barely get by now. Doesn't seem fair that I suffer each day because there is nothing more they can do.I did have a call from a call center on Workers Comps behalf and have explained all that I went through and was told this would be discussed but no one has responded to the poor rate I gave the system, my case worker told me when I was finished tier 3 that she would have a meeting in a months time and let me know what they discussed. I have not heard a word and that was months ago.

Have had nothing but great experiences with WCB. They have been very understanding and compassionate, especially in light of all the Covid complications.

Lied to, They collaborate with your employer in order not to pay you. This is nothing more than an insurance company that cares more about the dollar than you. We should not have to pay these people.

When calling WCB there is a customer service option available to speak with support for employers but there is no equivalent option for injured employees.
