I was alerted to your issue here. I have to say I really know nothing of worker's compensation in anywhere but a couple midwest states and Washington State in the US. Even then, each and every state has a different opinion as to how repetitive use injuries should be handled, as well as whether pre-existing conditions are completely excluded or open to aggravation by work. In the US w/c is a no fault system, but injuries usually must be shown to arise out of or in the course of performance of work duties, or out of a condition of employment. This is the "but for" test: "but for" the accident or activity at work your injury/condition would not have occurred.


I will see if I can find your other posts, as I am sure you have given more details there, but doubt, with my limitations, that I can help much. . . .
