Disability support and paperwork.

LCAC will review submissions privately, look for recurring barriers and check what help already exists. We will ask permission before publishing any part of your submission. Sharing does not start an application, appeal or referral.

• Inclusion Canada: Barrier-Free Benefits offers free navigator appointments for benefits such as the Disability Tax Credit, Registered Disability Savings Plan and Canada Disability Benefit.
• Disability Alliance Canada describes help with federal disability applications, renewals, denials and appeals. Ask which programs and services fit your situation.

211 Canada connects people with community and government services. Select your province or territory and ask about disability benefits assistance or legal help. 211 is an information and referral service.

• Service Canada: CPP disability benefits explains eligibility, applying and what happens after a decision.
• Social Security Tribunal navigators explain the appeal process for people without a professional representative. They do not give legal advice or represent you.

CLEO’s Steps to Justice provides Ontario disability information and an ODSP internal-review letter tool. Its free CPP disability Guided Pathways help prepare reconsideration and appeal forms; they do not provide legal advice.

Disability Alliance BC’s Advocacy Access program assists with provincial disability and CPP disability applications and appeals. Appointments and a waitlist may apply; check the listed requirements.

Canadian COVID Society’s disability benefits resources include a webinar and links to national and regional support. This initiative builds on existing work rather than replacing those services.
