Canadian citizens who are
suddenly unable to work at any job due to a disability may want to apply for a
Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefit. The CPP disability benefit is a
monthly payment available to people who regularly contributed to the Canadian
Pension Plan while they were working. The main objective of the pension plan is
to subsidize the earnings of people who recently paid into the CPP.
If your application is
approved, you can collect CPP benefits until you are 65 with minimal paperwork
to prove that you are really disabled. That said, the entire application
process can be very time consuming and cumbersome which is why some people
prefer to work with a disability
attorney. Lawyers who specialize in this field can guide you through the
entire process and prevent the possibility of committing errors in the
paperwork that could slow down the process.
According to the Service
Canada website, disability benefit is approved not on the nature of your
disability or disease but rather how the condition (along with the treatment
involved) affected your ability to find regular employment. A lawyer can help
prove your claim by correctly establishing your circumstance so there is a
stronger chance of approval. However, in the event that your application is
rejected, a lawyer can likewise help you with your appeal so you can get the
benefits that are rightfully yours.
