Fun TImes Compensation High

First a little about me, I started working out of home at 13 , while going to school, as a stock boy and later pump jockey. I left home by 15 with a last academic grade completion of 6. I wrote a type of equivalency test for a welding course at 17, which gave me grade 12 equivalent, tried trade school 2 years later, but was unable to compete academically. About 10 years later I attempted an apprenticeship, succeeded to 4th year, stayed a 4th year for 6 years, with multiple injury claims between , all pertaining to an original injury in 1992. I had low scores but enough to pass, at that time there was a push for tradesman an as long as your experience was there , you basically passed. However I knew I would not be able to pass the Provincial test.
After my last injury WCB wanted to send me to school for electrical engineer, I did pass the entrance exam for pre-technology course, but not knowledged enough in academics for completion. WCB refuse me upgrading as was requested by an educational Institution,so I wanted to start my own business, hopefully with a little assistance from WCB. Although I already had a national retailer to be an exclusive to a portable work bench that I registered as an industrial design.
WCB informed me that I know nothing of Business so therefore I must go to Business Administration. We will send you right back to school then you can make the monies needed to build your business; pass , fail or drop out we are done with you.
Well, knowing that I would not be able to complete again due to class qualifications, even the Institution questioned it. WCB got me in from stating "well he was registered last year", (April/May 2003)the secretary allowed me in. I had started an appeal almost immediately, knowing that it would be a few months before I got any answer, by October I had not heard from appeals adviser pertaining to appeal, left message, I contacted claim supervisor to inform him of my situation, he took my statement down and wrote its as I wished not to got school due to vehicle problems and other reasons on file. This is where the fraud charges from non-attendance to school originated.Turned out Appeals Adviser was no-longer working there and I wasn't informed, appeal papers sat on managers desk for approx 6 months, the one year time limit for appeal had passed .
Earlier that spring, I had already been questioning 1 overpayment on my claim that had been removed 3 times, with your basic runaround by claims manger, and other over payment's that seemed to accumulate over night. I then received my T-5 for the year 2003, floored me, thought I was the highest paid WCB recipient ever, but knew it wasn't true. I then went through my cheques, talked to Revenue Canada, was told to send it back to WCB and have them correct it. That never happened,I requested an audit of my claim; instead about 4 months later I am under fraud investigation, I told them I was happy they are taking me to court so I can show how they manipulated my claim file, everything was good, until court day. My lawyer had assured me that we could beat , then court day I am informed that "we do not" have the necessary information to prove manipulation, what happened there I still do not know. He informed me to plead guilty for defrauding WCB for the months of October 13th 2003 to April 30th 2004 or face jail time. SO I did, as a father with young children and 1 that is handicapped I figured he knew best, boy was I wrong.

The rest is all documented though my blog, I now have more information about file manipulation , pertaining to that time and since. OH yes in 2007, just before court, I received a letter from my claims manager that"I WAS"offered upgrading but chose a different path, apparently it was offered at the time I was scheduled for school, same time THEY refused it. Talk about Manipulating information, no other record on file pertaining to such offer.
