About CPP Disability Benefits
If you have been denied CPP disability, Yormak & Associates is the CPP disability benefits law firm that can win your seemingly unwinnable case. We understand that having CPP disability denied is a frustrating experience. Let us show you why an experienced CPP disability lawyer is your best option to advocate for your rights. We only represent people, not employers, companies, or the Government. Winning your claim is what we do.
C.P.P. is a federal government social insurance program (as opposed to Ontario WSIB) which is designed to supplement a contributor’s income, not replace it. It often supplements WSIB monthly income, which may or may not entirely replace the worker/contributor’s previous income. The amount of the CPP benefit depends on an individual’s yearly contributions up to the point at which they were unable to work.
CPP Eligibility
While the WSIB may pay partial monthly benefits, CPP pays all or nothing. The legal test for CPP eligibility is whether you are able to work at ANY job full or part-time, not just your old job.
However, CPP will consider all of your injuries/conditions at your disablement date, unlike WSIB, which only considers your work-related injuries. Therefore, conditions such as heart attacks, cancer, and other non-work-related conditions will be considered to determine if your condition is prolonged and severe, which is the CPP test to allow benefits. The onus is on you to prove this, which may not be an easy task for the ordinary person, no matter what the condition or injury.
How We Can Help
You may have hard-to-prove conditions such as Fibromyalgia, MS, Complex Regional Syndrome (RSD), Mild Brain Injury (MBI), Chronic Pain, Lupus, Psychological Condition (Depression) and other ailments which do not show up on formal testing such as X-ray, MRI, Cat Scan, EMG or other testing. We routinely and expertly handle these cases which the appellate Social Security Tribunal (SST) will vigorously analyze following CPP denials. We obtain and know precisely what critical medical evidence is required in order to be successful.
As with all our files, our firm not only gathers all of the medical information and records but also obtains critical reports from your treating physicians to address the specific and exacting criteria which these bureaucracies require in order to grant you benefits.
We provide you with straightforward answers to common questions about CPP and all other concerns in our initial free consultation. We assist you at all stages of the CPP process, from the critical initial CPP Disability Application and Medical Report (which, if not done correctly, can adversely affect you) to all levels of appeal in the newly established Social Security Tribunal (SST).
