For which type of worker may a factual correction report be requested?

A factual correction report may be requested for unrepresented workers. This is because unrepresented workers do not have an attorney advocating for them in the workers' compensation system. Therefore, they may rely more heavily on the information provided by medical evaluators and the administrative processes to correct any inaccuracies in their medical evaluations or case records without the guidance or support that represented workers might receive from their legal representatives.

In cases where there are discrepancies or errors in the documentation related to their injuries or treatment, unrepresented workers might not know the standard procedures to address these issues effectively, making the option for a factual correction report essential to ensure accurate representation of their claims. On the other hand, represented workers typically have attorneys who manage corrections and disputes on their behalf, thus reducing the need for direct requests for factual corrections from them.
