The information here is intended to help you understand and navigate the appeal process at the WSIAT.
To initiate most appeals, the person who wants to appeal (the appellant) a final decision of the WSIB to the WSIAT is required to complete and submit a Notice of Appeal form. To advance the appeal, the appellant must then submit either a completed Readiness Form and Confirmation of Appeal form (or in the case of a written appeal, their final written submissions) and all evidence they want considered. There are timelines to submit the required information. If there is information missing or additional information is required, the WSIAT will ask the appellant to provide it. Detailed information on the WSIAT’s appeal process and timelines is listed below.
