CPP Disability Chances of approval

Hi All:

Can anyone share experience if you have been approved for DTC and the new disability benefit can it be helpful if you include this in your cpp d application if you are in mid 30’s. Also anyone here who has been in late 30’s or early 40’s has been approved for Cpp D ? Just curious what are your chances of approval if you are younger but have disability preventing to work anything.

If you’re approved for DTC you probably most likely will be approved for CPP-D.

DTC is a much higher bar as I understand it

Is it mostly the case for most people ? Based of above comment

It’s hard to compare because CPP-D is focused on someone not being able to work because their disability is “severe and prolonged”, while with DTC you can be working to get it, but have to prove that the condition affects you 90% of the time.

That was my experience. I was easily approved for CPP-D however, my doctor won’t fill out the DTC forms for me because I’m no where near as disabled as the categories listed, and I agree with my doctor.
