APPEAL AN ORDER

When WSI makes a formal decision it mails an administrative order.  The order explains the decision to pay or deny benefits.  If you disagree with the order, you can request a review by the Decision Review Office (DRO) within 45 days of the date of the decision.  Reasons you may want to request a review:  

  • It is free of charge
  • You do not want to hire a lawyer
  • It is much faster than litigation
  • It is a neutral process
  • You may continue your appeal if not satisfied with the result
  • The DRO certificate of completion provides for WSI payment of an initial legal consultation and payment of attorney fees if prevailing in litigation
