Customer

My total charges will be 5.00?

Customer

They said this would only cost 5? Can you confirm this

Debra, Expert

I cannot confirm anything because the lawyers do not work for the site. Could you please speak to Customer service.

Debra, Expert

Hi there, I am just following up on this question. I am unable to provide a detailed answer without more information.

Debra, Expert

Without the information requested, I can only give a general answer based on the information I have.

Here is the answer to your query. Please do not hesitate to ask any follow up questions related to this response and know that I will respond as soon as I can.

It looks like you're having trouble with WSIB. Your best next step would be to contact the office of the workers advisor. They will help you with any appeal and will do this for free.

Here is a link to the contact information that you will need:
