Re: ODSP Application Denied

Sorry havnt replied,been really down lately and losing internet in 3 days making it worse,i have a lawyer to go to meeting for me thankfully,is it normal for them to ask for visit to them to tell me what questions will be asked? I really hope i get approved after the 28 th meeting.

Sorry, but I don't know if that's normal or not. I think you just show up and they ask you why you think the denial was wrong. Your lawyer will coach you, I expect. As long as you still have internet, you might want to watch this video if you haven't already:

Going to Your Hearing at the Social Benefits Tribunal (ODSP: Disability) - YouTube

It's on Youtube and it's called Getting Ready for the Social Benefits Tribunal. Copy and paste the link if you can't just click on it. Really hoping things go well for you on the 28th.

Re: ODSP Application Denied

Well my appointment to see the tribunal is tomorrow sometime, my lawyer said odsp wants to be there too, this makes me really worries knowing they want to be there, im getting some really bad anxiety and getting majorly depressed about it too, whats my chances if odsp is there too, feel like none

Re: ODSP Application Denied

I'm sure it's nerve wracking, but try to remain hopeful. Wishing you the best.

Re: ODSP Application Denied

Well my lawyer thinks ill be approved for at least 5 years, what happens after 5 years is what i would like to know, do i have to go through all this again? Have to wait 30 to 60 days to get answer too.

Re: ODSP Application Denied

So your hearing is over now?

 

[Iandude]

Re: ODSP Application Denied

Yah, i was so dam nervous

Re: ODSP Application Denied

Okay, so, in 30 days or so you will hopefully get an acceptance letter that will probably have a date for a medical review. Maybe that review will be in five years. If so, then you will have to get your doctor to agree that nothing has changed and then they will continue to fund you for another five years. You won't have to go through the application procedure all over again, as used to be the case. Good luck.

Re: ODSP Application Denied

Excellent. Congratulations.

The more information you can get from your doctor and psychiatrist the better the outcome will be also if you have had to be hospitalized and how it has affected your work etc hope with legal aid you can get the decision to be overturned as well.
