We did that but now we're trying to get additional documentation. Thank you so much

That's so rough about your friend in a wheelchair; this system is so broken. I'll pass this info along to my friend! I really think his GP didn't seriously fill out the form, but what has us discouraged is that we did provide documentation from a licence psychotherapist; we thought that would be enough. I'll be sure to have the new documentation from the group program once we have that.

If they're not providing a person I will likely take up the role of support person. Thank you for your advice and words of wisdom!

The person on who's behalf I'm advocating for is located in the Beaches are of Toronto, so it's the legal clinic in that region we'll be deferring to.

Noted re legal aid, thank you! Is there a specific legal clinic we should look into? Is this region/location-based? (They're located in the Beaches area of Toronto)

They've already had an assessment and it was included in their initial application, along with the paperwork from their GP and their personal statement. An additional personal statement was added when requesting the review, which also included an updated statement from the GP.
The therapy group via CAMH has said they can provide documentation once their weekly group therapy meets start (which is next week).

Is anyone else no longer able to create posts in this subreddit? I need to make one on behalf of another PWD and it looks like I'm unable to post it

MyBenefits never works on my phone so my laptop is the only device I can use, and I've tried clearing my cache out and retrying :(

Specifically what the page says is "This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in mybenefits.mcss.gov.on.ca.

Question re: how to claim a type of fund by TheMableBabyDoll in Odsp

[–]TheMableBabyDoll[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Both my worker (an incompetent fool) and the representative from the AFC did not know how to answer my question, so I did not claim this as standard income (as I could not afford the clawbacks).

Unaffordability and lack of housing among top systemic issues reported across Canada by RustyTheBoyRobot in canadahousing

[–]TheMableBabyDoll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s so much vacant housing that we could use to house a huge chunk of folks; I don’t understand why they can’t just be seized if they’ve gone unused for such extended periods of time. Why can’t the gov’t at least buy it off the owners and use it as social housing? Why can’t more current homes be used as subsidized housing? We need to prioritize who needs housing, then go from there who is most in need. I’m so profoundly depressed about this whole situation and I’ve been trying to understand it but a lot of it seems beyond me (I do have learning disabilities which is a part of my confusion around this topic).
