How Harvey Katz Law Can Help with Your Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) Benefit Claim
Applying for Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD) benefits can be a critical step for individuals who are unable to work due to a serious illness and/or injury. These benefits provide essential financial support, helping recipients cover basic living expenses when their condition prevents them from earning an income. For those who have Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage, applying for CPPD may be a policy requirement. Unfortunately, many valid CPPD claims are initially denied, leaving claimants in a difficult position.
If your application for CPP Disability benefits has been denied, you don’t have to face the appeals process alone. At Harvey Katz Law, we will help you navigate the complexities of CPPD disputes and securing the benefits you deserve. Here's how we can assist you.
Common Reasons for CPP Disability Denials
It is not uncommon for initial CPPD applications to be denied. Some of the most frequent reasons include:
-
Failure to meet the definition of “severe and prolonged”
-
Failure to meet contribution requirements
-
Insufficient medical evidence
-
Incomplete or incorrect documentation
We can help you avoid common pitfalls that result legitimate applications being denied.
Request for Reconsideration
If your initial application is denied, the first step in the appeal process is filing a Request for Reconsideration. This involves submitting additional evidence and arguments to challenge the denial. Our team at Harvey Katz Law will prepare a comprehensive submission on your behalf, ensuring that your claim is thoroughly documented and clearly demonstrates why you qualify for CPPD benefits.
Representing You at the Social Security Tribunal
If your Request for Reconsideration is denied, the next stage is to appeal to the Social Security Tribunal. This is a more formal process, involving a hearing before a tribunal member. At Harvey Katz Law, we will represent you at this hearing, presenting your case in a compelling and persuasive manner. We handle all aspects of the tribunal process, from preparing the necessary documentation to advocating for you during the hearing.
