How Do I Reopen My Claim?

You may apply at any time to reopen your claim. You may reopen your claim if objective medical evidence shows the condition caused by the same workplace injury or disease has worsened and requires additional medical treatment.

If more than 7 years have passed since the date your claim first closed (or 10 years for an eye injury), you may not be eligible for time-loss compensation or permanent partial disability benefits; however, you may be eligible for medical benefits.
