Refused CPP disability. CPP says that while I have limitations I can still work part time basis. How would part time be gainful? Thank you.
Part time at minimum wage would be about 11 000 a year ( 20 hours a week)
You should appeal-why not use this site for a free consult?

Thank you
Canada Pension Plan Regulations that describes ââsubstantially gainfulâ, in respect of an occupationâ as an occupation that provides a salary or wages equal to the maximum annual amount a person could receive as a disability pension.
Since 2014, substantially gainful has been defined by regulation as being the maximum annual amount a person could earn on CPP Disability. For 2016 that amount was $15,490 per year. So basically they are saying you have the capacity to earn $15,000 or more per year working part-time. This is theoretically possible, but would be a challenge for most people unless you have higher level education and ability to earn a high hourly rate working part time. I think you should keep appealing this because this is just a standard thing they say to lots of people.

I have sent a request for appeal and received a letter stating that they would give my doctor 30 days to respond. In the meantime I am living on $168 a month. I have been hospitalized and now my doctor will not renew my prescription for phenobarbital. I really can not take this much longer. I have no $ to eat and am having seizures from the stress. Doctors hours have been cut due to availability and have had to borrow $ from a friend but canât do that again. What can I do?
welfare tomorrow-food bank or food kitchen today. Or check yourself into a hospital through emergency-look up a crisis line
in your province.
