Workers’ cotnina »Advisers Mark Holand June 15, 2026 311 - 318 Agnes Street New Westminster, BC V3L 0J3 Dear Mark Holand: Re: WorkSafeBC Claim #42647461 Decision Date: March 23, 2026 Issues: Claim Denied I write further to Heather Di Palma’s April 23, 2026, letter, and my June 1, 2026, telephone discussion with you. Prior to the file being assigned to me Heather Di Palma provided you with an assessment that further medical information was required to support the success of a Request for Review of the March 23, 2026, Workers’ Compensation Board, which operates as WorkSafeBC (the “Board”) decision. She recommended you obtain specific medical evidence and provided you with questions and documents to be taken to your medical providers. Upon the file being transferred to me, I reviewed the file and advised you that further medical evidence would be required, and it was my opinion that it was not likely the evidence available would lead to a successful appeal of the March 23, 2026, decision denying your claim. I provided you with a deadline of 9:00 am PST on June 15, 2026, to provide me with the medical evidence requested in Heather Di Palma’s April 23, 2026, letter. The requested medical information has not been provided. I acknowledge that you raised a number of procedural concerns you had about the investigation and decision making process. As both Heather Di Palma and I previous advised, the procedural concerns you raised will not result in the decision being overturned and your claim being accepted. At best, the matter may be referred back to the Board for further investigation. However, without the medical evidence to support the causation of your health concerns, the Board would most likely arrive at the same decision and again deny the claim.
