WCB Parlor Tricks

WCB is short for Worthless Compensation Benefits because once you get them, WCB will stop at nothing to deny your benefits.

Step 1: Don't answer the phone. WCB uses the phone methoud to misinform you with information that will help you to deny your own claim. Always check WCB regulations for the real facts.

Step 2: WCB will tell you that excessive fatigue and nausea is a subjective illness and cannot be proven as a medical condition preventing a person from working. Only because of these symptoms did I request extra lab tests from my doctor which resulted in a diagnosis of high blood sugar.

Step 3: Even if you aren't classified as diabetic, or were diagnosed only with high blood sugar levels, it is important to start testing your blood sugar levels. I found that my highest blood sugar levels occurred after fasting... ie. before breakfast. No wonder I always hated mornings and had to force myself to get going in the morning!
