How To Use This Toolkit
This isn't paperwork. This is how we fight back. Pick your path, move in sequence, and keep your nervous system calm while you do it.
Move one section at a time. The progress rail updates as you scroll.
Step 1
Find Yourself In the Fight
Pick the path that fits. Each card drops you directly into the right onboarding flow.
New Injury / First Contact
You were just hurt or just opened a claim. You need a calm, fast starting point.
Jump inBenefits Cut / Denied Treatment
A decision letter doesn't match reality. You need targeted pushback.
Jump inIgnored / Mislabeled as “Behavioural”
You're being dismissed or gaslit. You need receipts and escalation.
Jump inAlready in Appeal Land (WCAT/ Review)
You're in formal review/appeal territory and need precedent and structure.
