## An Ottawa dispute heads to the tribunal with a thin record

Denied benefits are appealed to the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT), which decides on the paper and the testimony. Intake that ties every question to a record keeps the file whole.

- Denied claims arrive half-answered.
- Treating records were never requested.

## What IMECore does about it

### Every question tied to a record

Open questions show before booking, not at the hearing.

### Video where distance hurts

Eastern Ontario files can run by video when the questions allow it.

## How it runs

1. **Send the referral.** Forward the questions, the regime, and the due date.
2. **We set the regime.** SABS, WSIB, LTD, or tort is marked on the case.
3. **Records land on the case.** Notes, imaging, and priors attach with source.
4. **Review and release.** Release waits until every question is answered.

## Questions people ask

### Do you have an office in Ottawa?

No. IMECore leases no examining rooms in Ottawa. Visits are arranged through our examiner network and confirmed when you refer.

### What is the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT)?

The tribunal for auto benefit disputes. Reports answer each question with reasons.

### Does distance from Toronto slow the file?

No date is promised without the record. Video runs where the questions allow it.
