Issues will be investigated by a Workers Compensation Specialist in the office assigned according to the county where the injured employee resides. If the dispute cannot be resolved by agreement, the Workers Compensation Specialist may order or deny the benefits requested. A denial may be based on either the compensability of the claim, or whether the benefits requested are appropriate under the facts and circumstances presented. 10
