I completed the ODSP application today. The lady told me I met the financial requirements for assistance. Now I have to wait for CRA to confirm the information I provided before I get funds. She told me that will take about a day. Since it is Friday I won’t know until next week.

The lady didn’t ask too many invasive questions about my situation. After I told her my story, she told me I could have applied last fall while I was on EI. When she told me I could have kept my $13 000.00 in savings I nearly cried. She wanted to know why I didn’t apply then especially since I am able to return to the program anytime I need it as long as I meet the financial requirements. Honestly I thought the asset limit was $10 000.00. The hope of finding work before my funds ran out and my pride were my other reasons.

My savings are all gone which is disappointing. I’m just relieved I will be able to pay my rent.
