Appealing a Denied Claim
If your claim for Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefits is unsuccessful at the reconsideration level, you still have options. The CPP disability lawyers of Reybroek Barristers in Toronto can appeal the denied claim to the Office of the Commissioner of Review Tribunals (OCRT).
This level of appeal involves a hearing before a three-person panel. One of the members of the panel is a lawyer, one is a health care professional, and the third is a member of the community.
This is the first opportunity to present your case to the people making the decision about whether to overturn the denial and approve your claim for CPP disability benefits. Our lawyers can help you make the most of this opportunity. We have a record of positive results in appealing denied claims. Our knowledge of the law and our understanding of what the panel members will be looking for guide the preparation of each case.
Explanation of the Decision
Once we give notice of your intention to appeal the denial of your claim, Service Canada will send you an explanation of its decision to deny the claim. This is an important document that outlines why the claim was rejected on reconsideration. It allows us to prepare a sound response to specific objections. Strict deadlines apply. Please contact us promptly so we have adequate time to prepare your case.
