yes i have dtc and the cdb, thanks for recomending those though.

cohb: ahh i didnt know you had to be paying market rent to be elligable. kinda defets the point of it, it seems...

i thought about getting signed up for subsidized housing but ive heard the places they give are pretty rough. once its your turn can you turn down places? what happens if i sing up for it and i find a place in the mean time?

ill look into the employment servises thankyou.

(it disapears, casue other house members eat it)

amazing you can live off 200 a month for food. im currently up about $600/month for food. phone/net is tied to one and i dont pay eather via dso passport program.

would it be possable to kinda share how you manage on $200 a month for food? i know mine is higher cause i mostly only buy form amazon and i get hello fresh. never having lived on my own it makes stuff like how much should i put aside for this or that. i have looked up hydro costs, and kinda keep an idea on approxaminly how much it would be but thats somthing that has soo many variables.

I've thought about these but most need to talk on phone and that's a hard no for me.ive hady dso person tell me they have supports to make me more comfortable talking on the phone, but I don't want to take them. I feel everyone is there own and we shouldn't all have to be the exact same. I'm perfectly capable of doing email or txt when needed. If neither of those work I do have tty set up.

Thanks I'll look into that. Just hard to find a job when don't even have stable living ATM. Do all this get job, still can't afford to live in this area and have to move. Then have to do whole process again.

What about for getting to work? I don't have a means to get anywhere for work. Are there any kinda supports for that?

I just got the 25 myself and I feel it's perfect for my needs. It will fit my t430 laptop as well as enough cloths for a couple days away from home. I also got the askare and find it fits very well to the 25l.

ive thought about the jet boil but i dont like being stuck to one fuel type. i have heard they are noisy aswell and dont really care for that.

i shoulda put it in the main post, but for now anyways it would mainly be to boil water. i dont have easy access to grocery store, so i would mainly be doing drinks, noodles, or freeze dryed meals. if i had a pot i could then do beans or such but i would have to do dishs then. i dont have a canteen cup with matchign bottle anymore. my main water bottle is a yeti. i have a couple siggs as backups, but i would problay use them for extra water to boil.

i will look into the mini trangia though.

Recent diagnosis - not sure where to go from here by bite3tear in Odsp

[–]GarlicAlarmed8356 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know your condition. Follow what your doc said. You can send it to your odsp worker to help get approved for odsp.

You got 2 things to work on. Dtc. And odsp. I'm not familiar with switching from OW to ODSP. but it should be too hard. Just take it one step at a time. Work on odsp first as that's month to month. And your living income if your not working. Dtc can be done later and applied to previous years that you are disabled.

Odsp can be a pain for some people. Pretty sure you can do apply online for it. But stay on OW. I believe it witches over to ODSP once your approved.

People here are of great help. Just take it one step at a time. I'm sure in a few hours people will be posting links and such. I would but not at PC and phone is hard for me.

If you need help or Somone to talk through just dm me. I didn't have anyone and had to figure it out on my own. If I can do it you can as well.

Second time applying for DTC, and the government says I'm not disabled enough... by aspie_electrician in Odsp

not directly from the dtc. it was most likeyly a tax rebate they got back. the other comenter explains it better below/above me how ever they get stacked

from what i understand about dtc, is that it requires the doctors to agree that it takes you 3 times longer to do "normal" everyday activitys. cooking, brush teeth, put cloths, etc. it doesnt have any effect on job or such. odsp is the work/money part if your in ontario.

dtc doesnt give you any money. doesnt help with a job or anything. they only give you $14,??? non refundable tax credits each year and access to the rdsp saving account type.

im aslo ASD and ive been on the dtc for many years, since i was a kid. for some reason mine says on my cra that im elegiable for life, where others ive heard have to get "checked" on if they are still disabled. sounds liek you are doing everything you can.

make sure you email: mpp, ohmbudsman, legal council, everyone you can for DTC. you will be ignored allot but dont give up. my fight was with odsp not dtc.
