My issues with the Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefits, CPP Disability application continues with Service Canada. I’ve lost complete faith in our broken system. There is yet another delay in processing my application for benefits. A letter was sent to me in the mail at home. I’m shocked, come on Service Canada, do you even read your own forms??? The big X is my signature, I was paralyzed unable to write, unable to move, unable to speak. I had to do the X with a black marker in my mouth…The social worker was my witness and it’s clearly signed as it states. I’m frustrated now, more so then before. My social worker today said she cannot believe the hassle I’ve had with this.
Canada Pension Plan Benefits – Our Government Is Letting Me Down
I haven’t worked since end of July, 2019 because of Guillain Barre Syndrome. As you all know I have no money coming in and I explained this in previous posts with issues I’ve had with our Government and The Financial Stress That Comes With Guillain Barre Syndrome. A 170 day waiting period for my application for Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefits and them closing my file and them telling me on the phone to resend everything again and that I’ll have an additional 170 day waiting period is just plain wrong. CPP Disability also would not simply reopen. I am beyond disappointed with Service Canada.
Social Assistance Denied
As some of you already know I unfortunately had to apply for social assistance. They tell me I have a 7 week waiting period because EI gave me a lump sum payment for back time from November 2019 of 7 weeks on January 10th, 2020. Keyword backtime, money owed. Due to their long processing time to update my file for EI with my doctors note on my condition, this also penalizes me with a 7 week waiting period with social assistance.
Even after my 7 weeks of waiting period I only qualify for $135 a month because I’m living at the Stan Cassidy Rehabilitation Centre in Fredericton NB. Needless to say I’m now hurting and the stress is on my shoulders as I still try to recover.
I’m now asking for your help. I’m less then 30 days of being tapped out now. With no help from the government anytime soon. Talks are happening here now on my discharge and therefore the planning for me to go home. Furthermore equipment is needed, renovations needed for bathroom accessibility, and it’s adding more stress as the government let me down. These planning talks are a little hard as they need to plan for the worse and April 10th is coming fast.
If you have the ability to help, it would be greatly appreciated by supporting my Help Jamie Boyle Beat Guillain Barre Syndrome GoFundMe page. No donation is too small. Every little bit helps.
I also have the 50/50 board going on as well on my Jamie Boyle Fight With Guillain Barre Syndrome GBS Facebook page. You can also show your support by buying a square for $10 for a chance to win $500. Both of these will be used to help with bills, equipment and renovations for me to come home. If your unable to donate I ask you kindly to please share both on your Facebook. Sharing is caring too.
Sorry for the long post, lot of things for me to think about today. It was also kind of a tough day.
Thank you.
