Disability Back Pay Process

Summary

To pursue back pay for disability in Ontario, contact the relevant program like ODSP or CPP Disability to check eligibility. Gather necessary documentation such as medical records and employment history. If your ODSP application was declined, back pay is not typically granted unless you successfully appeal. Back pay eligibility is usually determined by the application date or when the disability began. Consider seeking legal advice for assistance with the process.

So if my ODSP got declined will I get back paid until then
If your ODSP application was declined, you would not typically receive back pay unless you successfully appeal the decision. In Ontario, if an appeal is successful, back pay might be calculated from the date of application or the date your disability began, depending on the circumstances.
