Doctor Failed to Submit CPP Disability Medical Report After Assuring Me It Would Be Sent — What Are My Options?

Please report back on what your physician wrote in their copy of the CPP-D application form once you have it to mail in.

I wish you luck.

Thanks. Just to clarify, I won’t be mailing anything. I’ll be delivering my complete medical records and physician’s notes directly to the Service Canada office so I can discuss everything face-to-face with an adjudicator.

Given everything that’s happened since the CPSO became involved and the way my physician treated me afterward, I do have concerns about what may have been written. That’s exactly why I’ve requested my complete file.

If the records show inaccurate, misleading, or unsupported statements, I’ll address them through the appropriate channels with the evidence in hand. If, on the other hand, the records support my position, they’ll speak for themselves.

Either way, I’ll be relying on documented facts—not assumptions.

There are no adjudicators at Service Canada locations. Adjuticators are medical professionals that work out of other goverment locations.

Do you mean a Service Canada intake clerk? If so, all they do is make sure you have all the proper forms, they have key fields filled out, they date stamp it, it and forward it onto the proper processing facility.

Fair enough about adjudicators not being located in Service Canada offices. My point was that I’ll be delivering the records in person so there’s no question they’ve been received before they’re forwarded for adjudication.

Great. I have two questions:

  1. So what’s your plan if you get a copy of your former physicians cppd application Form ISP-2519 (I’m not talking about your medical records and notes) and they haven’t clearly explained you aren’t capable of gainful employment, and have not addressed if your condition is both severe and prolonged? If you read through this forum and others it’s the main reason for most denials.
  2. If what your former physician has written on form 2519 seems acceptable to you, then what is your plan if the medical adjudicator wants your former physician to provide some follow up information but he legally can’t anymore because he’s severed your relationship? Yes, I know you don’t want to believe me that follow-up documentation from the attending physician is the norm (usually at the 4 to 6 month mark) rather than the exception, but you need a plan on how handle that potential request.

Those are fair questions. At this point I’m waiting to see exactly what was submitted before speculating about hypothetical follow-up requests. If there are deficiencies, I’ll address them once I know the facts. If Service Canada requires additional medical information, I’ll deal with that through the appropriate treating physician and the processes available at that time.
