My comment wasn't a personal attack on you, and I'm sorry if it came out that way.

It was more to the point that there are several options available for people with disabilities, and sometimes it does require either the cooperation of a doctor or a lawyer who specializes in this sort of thing.

Yes, you might lose a cut of what you're going to receive, but it's better than the frustration that you are going through.

Believe me, I've been through it. My wife's doctor was a complete ass, and it took years and years for them to finally be willing to sign the paperwork the disability tax credit.

And then when it came time to renew, this same doctor sat on their asses until it lapsed, and then she had to go through the entire process again!

It shouldn't have been like that. And if that's what you're going through, I can completely empathize with you.

I have another family member who had to get a lawyer in order to get ODSP, despite decades of suffering and being unable to work. It was only through the lawyer that they were able to get approved very quickly, whereas when they did it themselves, they were constantly being rejected.

Maybe there's a loophole that lawyers know about that we don't, but whatever it is, they do get the job done.

I do hope that things get easier for you and your family.
