Bad news today. ( Archived) (22)

sorry to hear that- i agree, get a lawyer, if you can afford that without the benefit catch 22 eh?
you should be in Ireland- half the people i know are on disability benefit for physical probs but it doesn't seem to stop them doing any kind of adrenalin type sports etc

Mr. Paws,

I've been dealing with some of this myself lately. Not disability, but life insurance, health insurance, pension plans, social security, etc. With the single exception of social security, every damn company I've dealt with has failed miserably. I have had to write and re-write, send certified mail, call, fax, re-fax, etc.... just to get them to honor THEIR commitments. It's frustrating as all get out - but I've won every battle so far.

DO NOT give up. Just create a good paper trail and follow their instructions... over and over and over again. Keep at it. If there is a legal precedence for your disability, you SHOULD be able to get it!

Rots of Ruck!

i have done that process couples of years ago

you should find yourself a good doctor to have the disability benifits it can last up to to 4 years before being accepted. if the doctor wrote on your paper that you can do little thing suckh as Taking the city busses without a problem or take your bath without help ect... you'll have to forget it.

My uncle had a heart attach and his medical condition was really severe and he was reject and they forced him to look for a job at the eyes of the gouvernement he wasn't disable at all.
anyways he died 3 years ago but now i hate so much the ontario work for that or Welfare

My mom was lucky because she was on the disability benifits way before they applied a stupid law in 1995 i think that was the year
She never had problem the only thing is she didn't received much i think she had 1,001.00$ each month to live on and that wasn't enought because she had to buy special food and her needles for her diabeties when the friggin gouvernement buy seringe for junkies To stay alive my mom had to buy those seringe and buy less food.

but for now you can applied for your old age pension and have a certain % of it before you reach 65 years old
and you can also applied for your Canada Pension Plan (C.P.P)
if it's less then 5 year ago you had quit your job due to sickness.

wish you the best of luck!

That's the way it is here in Bama,you get denied 2 to 4 times at first then they start, then it takes about another 2 years or so, then if you get it you get all your back pay. Hang in there Mr.Paws we will all be with you.

Same here in the US, Paws. We had to fight for my former wifes disability. Among other problems, she was blind in one eye, the judge said that under Florida law, she could still drive! I was thrown out of the hearing, when I yelled"...let her drive YOUR car", at the judge!!

It has never been about the people Leo. Like I have said many times on this forum, if they call it democracy why do we have to fear the people we elect? Only the squeaky wheels get grease, so if you want something you had better get sqeaky. Goos luck.

I am sorry to hear that Paws..I go through it every year with my daughter..She has a disability also and I have to fill out the forms every year and say the same thing. I told them nothing has changed in 7 years and I don't expect it to change in the next 7 years. The Government are sticky people to deal with..
