- Hi! This is word for me. I’ve always worked and supported myself and my children since their father passed. Two years ago I was injured on the job in a freak accident. I ended up with six herniated discs and severe nerve engagement throughout my entire back. This has stopped me from going back to work as a PSW or really just getting out of bed some days. I followed every rule and timeline with WSIB and yet they still declined our submission, despite the overwhelming physical evidence. We are awaiting our final appeal, which I was told could take over a year. In the meantime, I’ve been accepted for CPPD, but haven’t even received a phone call or a letter to start things. I’ve been getting $600 a month from OW but that doesn’t even cover our rent let alone, food, gas, treatments, anything. WSIB has broken multiple laws, but no one is holding them accountable. I’ve been to my MP, MPP, ombudsman, etc and just keep getting sent somewhere else. We’re about to lose our home, and then we have nowhere to go. I’m on the list for geared to income housing but have been informed it’s eight years waiting list. I would take all my medication and push myself through work just to get us through, but then WSIB would claim I was healed and it is also not sustainable. I put my name in for surgery, but the majority of damage is to my upper back and no surgeon will touch it for fear of paralyzing me. I’m in my early 40s and my life is over. All I want to do is take care of my children and get through this next year. If there’s absolutely anything anyone can do, I am open to it. I can provide documents if needed. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
