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 what caused your injury or illness. Form 6
must be sent to the WSIB within 6 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.
