I've been reading everything about ODSP on the web I could find and I'm terrified that it has such a high denial rate.
Tomorrow I will be going to see my doctor to fill out some Ontario Disability Support Program papers and I feel like a wreck because it seems so overwhelming and hopeless, I know for a fact already that my age of 28 (turning 29 this year) will go against me for getting benefits and I was wondering if any of you lovely people have had dealings with ODSP and perhaps any tips for me getting through this or even hopefully approved easier. Thank you for your time. J |

Have not done ODSP but helped a friend with disability app. As much specific info as possible. Write down things like meds, diagnosis and other info you may need to complete the applcation on a separate paper you can keep secure on you.
If possible, being able to take it home if it is extensive could be a help. Dates you were under psychiatric care and the doctor(s) and therapist's name. Specific notes from doctors saying you are unable to work, and In Patient or out patient hospitalizations. You can do yourself a service by providing detailed specific responses to questions that demonstrate clearly an inability to work. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com Please feel free to private message me or any of the Community Liaisons by left clicking on the name in blue to the left of their post) for questions or just to share. __________________ Super Moderator Community Support Team "Things Take Time" |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|

My Support Forums is the online community that was originally begun as the Psych Central Forums in 2001. It now runs as an independent self-help support group community for mental health, personality, and psychological issues and is overseen by a group of dedicated, caring volunteers from around the world.
