The report also concluded that the Department did not ensure that it
assessed applications for the CPPD benefit in a consistent manner,
because the Department did not have a quality assurance framework in
place.
Finally, the Auditor General concluded that the Social Security
Tribunal of Canada, which was supported by the Department until November 2014 and
afterwards by the Administrative Tribunals Support Service of Canada,
did not decide CPPD appeals in a timely manner.
