Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefit Claims

The Canada Pension Plan (“CPP”) Disability Benefit is a form of disability insurance available to eligible persons who have contributed to the CPP program. Like other insurance programs, the scheme provides financial assistance to eligible CPP contributors who are not able to work because of severe and prolonged disability.

The Eligibility Criteria For Benefits Can Be Very Complex And Difficult To Navigate. To Be Eligible For A Benefit You Must:

Have a severe and prolonged disability;
Be under age 65;
Have earned a specified minimum amount and contributed to the CPP while working for a minimum number of years; and
Have contributed to the CPP in four of the last six years at or above the minimum level of earnings or in three of the last six years if you have contributed at or above the minimum level of earnings for at least 25 years.

Like other forms of long term disability insurance programs, applicants in Ottawa are often denied CPP Disability Benefits. However, there is some hope for those who have been denied the benefit – appeal!
