Get help if you have a problem with ODSP

Get help from a community legal clinic if the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP):

• says that you have an overpayment
• reduces your income support
• cuts off your income support

Appealing a decision

If ODSP says you have an overpayment or cuts off or reduces your income support, you may be able to appeal their decision.

Ask ODSP for the decision in writing right away.

To appeal, the first thing you have to do is write to the ODSP office that made the decision and ask for an internal review.

After you ask for an internal review, you can appeal to the Social Benefits Tribunal.

The Tribunal isn't part of ODSP. It has the power to make a different decision.

Finding help

You can contact a community legal clinic if you disagree with what ODSP decides. They may be able to help you appeal the decision.
