"If you received workers compensation payments from October 2012, you may have received incorrect payments"
According to an icare Factsheet sent to people that may be affected, it states:-
"From October 2012, the way workers compensation payments in NSW were determined changed. This changed the information required and the calculation process used by insurance companies to determine the weekly compensation payments for people who had sustained a work-related injury.
icare initiated a review of how weekly workers compensation payments were determined by insurers. In some instances missing earnings information or other issues may have resulted in people receiving incorrect payments.
If you received weekly compensation payments that started on or after 1 October 2012, you may have been underpaid.
We are inviting you to have your past weekly compensation payments reassessed to understand if you are owed money.
