5. Get a decision

When the Disability Adjudication Unit gets your completed Medical Review Package, they:

• look at the information, and
• decide whether you still meet the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) definition of a person with a disability.

They let you know their decision by sending you a letter in the mail.

If the Disability Adjudication Unit says that you're still a “person with a disability”, your income support continues with no change.

If the Disability Adjudication Unit says you’re not a “person with a disability”

You'll continue to get income support for 3 months. But after the 3 months, ODSP cuts off your income support.

You may be able to appeal the decision. But first you have to write to the Disability Adjudication Unit and ask for an internal review.

After you've asked for an internal review, you can appeal to the Social Benefits Tribunal.
