6.6.3 Previously determined claims where new evidence is asserted

Where an employee asserts that the determination of the original claim must be revisited due to the advent of new evidence (i.e. evidence not previously presented), the Delegate may exercise discretion to re-examine the matter. In that case however, it is not a new claim and should be handled as a review of the original decision. It is not necessary for the employee to submit a new claim form nor is it desirable to register this review as a new case.
