I have had a few runins with both Alberta and BC WCB. They have all been very favorable on my side. In one case I was scheduled for an appeal when I didn't want it. They said I really should go to the appeal hearing. The result was that they paid for 2 years post secondary training to retrain me. My experience has been to do everything that they want. If they want you to see a particular doctor, go. If they want tests, have them. If you balk it looks like you may be trying to hide something.

WCB is still ran as a not-for-profit organisation. I pay into WCB every year and I get a cheque at the end of the year if there is a surplus at years end (i.e., premiums were higher than payouts). They never close their books at year end with a profit.
