What is the time frame to accept or dispute a claim for compensation?
A claim must be accepted or disputed within 84 days of the claim being lodged by the injured worker. If a claim is disputed as from the 1st July 2001 an employer must pay weekly benefits to the employee until the Tribunal determines that a reasonably arguable case exists. There of course must be grounds for dispute and the dispute must be lodged within 84 days.
