Assistance for People with Disabilities

[jackymaracle]

I am a person with a disability. My doctor does not want me working. I am in the appeal process with the CPP Disability Pension. I am worried about the possibility of being denied again.

We need two incomes.

I do not qualify for ODSP or assistance from Ontario Works. I don’t know where else to turn.
