The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is a provincial assistance program that provides income and employment support to Ontario residents with disabilities.
To qualify for ODSP, applicants must be medically eligible and meet the financial requirements. In addition, those receiving ODSP benefits must not own liquid assets or cash over $5,000.00 for individuals and $7,000.00 for couples. Compensation awarded for pain and suffering during a lawsuit are considered “assets” under the legislation.
