How long ago was this decision made?

Hello there.

Thats ok, I am here and would be happy to assist you via text.

How long ago was the review decision made?

This is the review decision that was rejected? you may be out of time to request an appeal.

An appeal should be started 30 days from the date of the review decision.

You may need to file an extension of time and get that approved before you can even think about the appeals process. Is there a good reason why you were late in filing an appeal?

You are appealing to WCAT BC right?

"Your notice of appeal must be received by WCAT within 30 days of the Review Division decision date. Do not wait to start your appeal until you have collected information or evidence first. Evidence and information will be collected later in the appeal process."

so the 90 days rule is if there is an error or omission is your appeal.

Ok, I just wanted to point that out to you. What is your question?

I cannot really give you legal advice, only legal information. I can only point out where I think you need to provide more detail. What kind of help are you looking for?

Of course, I am a lawyer.

There should be a little paper clip button in the chat box.

I cannot do that, I can only communicate with you on this platform.

However, the platform should have everything you need to upload the documents so I can read them.

Sure, ill have a look whenever you get back.

So I have taken look at this and it would appear the biggest issue is that the stressors that caused your depression is, from the position of the adjudicator, not extraordinary.

This is the issue you need to address in appeal.

No. You will have to retain a local lawyer for that. We cannot represent any individuals over the internet.

You are very welcome.
