Ontario Disability Support Program Lawyer Ottawa
The Ontario Disability Support Program (“ODSP”) is a provincially-funded social service intended to provide financial support for persons with disabilities, and no other access to disability insurance type benefits. Amongst other things, ODSP provides financial assistance for people with disabilities to help with essential living expenses and benefits to help with prescription drugs and vision care.
ODSP Eligibility
Like most programs, there are eligibility criteria that must be met in order to be eligible for ODSP benefits. To be eligible for ODSP you must be at least 18 years of age, an Ontario resident, be in financial need and you must be a person with a disability. Frequently, Ontarians suffering from a disability and in need of ODSP assistance are denied their claim because ODSP has determined that they do not meet the definition of disabled. The good news is, the denial of ODSP benefits can be appealed! Contact our Ottawa ODSP Appeal Lawyer Today to claim ODSP benefits.
