If you disagree with the decision of the Review Division, you can usually appeal to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal (http://www.wcat.bc.ca www.wcat.bc.ca]). But you cannot appeal decisions of the Review Division on specific issues, such as vocational rehabilitation, commutations, prevention orders (other than penalties), and certain types of disability awards.
