 Please indicate your preferred option: [Required]
1 - Status quo - The mental stress policy would remain unchanged. In order to receive additional benefits for a recurrence, workers would be required to meet the section 5.1 mental stress entitlement provisions.
2 - Revise the mental stress policy to remove the sentence that addresses adjudication for recurrences of mental stress - Workers whose claims were accepted under the former provisions would no longer be required to meet the new entitlement requirements for mental stress in the event of a recurrence. The current provisions would be applicable to the calculation of benefits, but not for matters of entitlement.
