The state's compensation manager is encouraging tens of thousands of Hunter workers to reassess their past compensation payments to make sure they received the correct entitlements.
icare has put the call out to more than 22,000 workers in the region to have their past compensation payments looked at following a seven year review.
The review of weekly payments between 2012 and 2019 revealed earnings information used to determine weekly compensation payments for injured workers was in some cases not provided to the insurer at the time.
The review found NSW workers who were injured on the job should come forward to see if they are owed money on their workers compensation payments.
Identified workers would have received a letter from icare outlining the reassessment processor a review.
