On February 27, 2014 I requested information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the Social Security Tribunal appeal statistics.
9027 Income Security Appeals are waiting to be heard (these are CPP appeals)
The SST heard 21 CPP appeals in 2013 and 155 appeals in 2014 in the General Division.
The SST heard 38 CPP appeals in 2013 and 40 appeals in 2014 in the Appeals Division.
As of February 2014 a total of 2,802 appeals were received at the Income Security Division of the SST which includes CPP and OAS appeals.
There are 292 Income Security Appeals waiting to be heard at the Appeal Division of the SST.
67 Appeals were heard in person, 82 appeals were by teleconference, 26 were by videoconference, 3 were by way of question and answers.
There were 592 appeals allowed and 134 appeals dismissed at the General Division (interesting because the SST only heard 176 appeals so most of these were CPP driven). http://www.dcac.ca/blog/?page=1
