First of all, here’s the link to my original back to work thread. You might find some of the posts contain useful information: Best way to start process of return to work, on LTD/CPPD
Secondly, I’ve been trying frantically to find options for when I turn 65. At that time I’ll receive less than what an ODSP recipient gets, because I was off for several years on worker’s compensation, which greatly reduced my CPP contributions. I won’t get enough for an apartment or even a room.
I was on a wait list for supportive, rent geared to income housing for 10 years, then they kicked me off of their list along with about 500 others.
I applied for other housing, including senior housing, but the housing situation is so bad now I don’t expect anything will come up in time.
At this point it’s looking like my choices will be a tent or MAID. But I’m always looking for alternatives.
Sadly I don’t think I’ll be able to work. I was hoping if I worked I could continue working after age 65 so I could supplement my meagre income. Right now just doing daily things like finances and housework and even eating are hard for me.
