Appeal process changed to the disadvantage of those denied a disability pension
A disability pension can provide relief from hardship for someone with a long-term addiction disorder or a diagnosis of concurrent disorders. Never easy to obtain, Canada's disability pensions were put farther out of reach by procedural changes made in October. Details are provided in the news release from Robin Loxton of the BC Coalition for Persons with a Disability. Included in the release is the notice from Canada Pension Plans which details these changes.
