If you are unable to work due to a severe and prolonged disability, you may be eligible for Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) benefits. However, applying for CPPD benefits can be a complex and frustrating process, especially when claims are delayed or denied. At Trial lawyer Tim Leigh-Bell, we help individuals across Ontario navigate the CPPD application and appeal process with clarity and confidence.
What is CPP Disability?
CPP Disability is a federal program that provides monthly income benefits to individuals who have contributed to the Canada Pension Plan and are no longer able to work due to a mental or physical disability.
To qualify, you must demonstrate:
- A severe and prolonged disability
- That the condition prevents you from regularly working
- Sufficient contributions to the CPP program
Despite meeting these criteria, many initial applications are denied. Fortunately, there is an appeal process, and legal representation can significantly increase your chance of success.
Common Challenges with CPPD Claims
- Difficulty meeting documentation requirements
- Medical evidence being considered insufficient
- Misunderstanding of eligibility criteria
- Administrative delays and procedural errors
