I never contributed to CPP because I did not work for 5 years as i was raising my 5 year old child since I moved to Canada in 2013 as a permanent resident
My husband did contribute to CPP for the past 2 years but our earnings are less than 25000 per year
I have been unable to work or function due to extreme arthritis as well as several symptoms that i live with.
Qualifying for ODSP is not based on the medical condition per se, rather to qualify you must meet the ODSP a defintion of disability AND have financial need.
The defintion of disability is on the ODSP website, but in summary you must have an impairment or condition that will last a year or more and that results in a substantial restriction in your ability to work, take care of yourself etc. To meet the financial need requirement you must have a very low family income. You would need to contact the ODSP program as the assessment is done on a case by case basis. They can also explain the ODSP requirements… Hope this helps.
Hi All, I just want to ask if anyone ever tried using medical cannabis as an alternative meds? I’ve been reading a lot of articles a bout marijuana and how it can be at help at many kind of pain, lupus and chronic diseases including cancer just like this review on a marijuana strain from Purple Urkle Cannabis Strain. As you can see it has a number of medical properties. Any personal experience or testimonial would be highly appreciated. Thanks
