STAKEHOLDER QUESTIONNAIRE AND SUMMARY OF RESPONSESAdditional Comments For all <strong>the</strong> progress I started <strong>to</strong> make, I would be ‘cut <strong>of</strong>f’ <strong>the</strong>rapy (without notice usually) and set back <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> beginning again. Thishappened twice. <strong>Now</strong> I cannot even get <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>rapy I need. <strong>WCB</strong> does not commit itself <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> "worker" but <strong>the</strong> bot<strong>to</strong>m $$. <strong>The</strong>y will recover <strong>the</strong>ir funds in court. I will be this way for <strong>the</strong> rest <strong>of</strong>my life! And with no guarantee <strong>of</strong> a satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry settlement. Because what <strong>the</strong>y can’t “see” does not constitute disability.
