The Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Canada’s largest public disability insurance program, has been the subject of recent criticism. Applicants with long-term and disabling conditions whose claims for CPP disability benefits have been denied are finding it harder to get those decisions overturned on appeal. Appeals are made to the Social Security Tribunal of Canada (SST). As reported in the Globe and Mail,[1] in 2013-14, “just 43.4 per cent of appellants were able to convince an adjudicator of the SST that they had been wrongfully denied”.
