The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) has a benefit they call Mandatory Special Necessities.
When you get from ODSP, you may also be able to get this benefit to pay for the cost of travelling for medical treatment.
To get this help, your travel costs must be over $15 in a month.
There are rules about:

- how much ODSP will pay
- how to apply
