I want to get Canada Pension Plan Disability

Many of our clients have been denied Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D) upon first application.  This is not surprising since over 60% of initial applications are denied.

However, with our help, many clients succeed in getting CPP-D benefits by requesting a reconsideration within the timeline specified in the rejection letter.

What do we do in the reconsideration letter?

  • We look carefully at the specific reasons Service Canada gives for the rejection and we address those reasons directly.
  • We provide a clear explanation of the disabilities suffered by the client, in plain English, and reference the supporting medical records.
  • We explain how with those medical problems, the client does meet the “severe and prolonged” definition in the CPP legislation.
  • We attach all relevant medical records.

If you have been denied CPP-Disability and would like our law firm’s help to seek a reconsideration, please contact us at 613 233-4529.
