(Provincial income assistance, Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security)

We may be able to help you if:

You lost your appeal to the Employment and Assistance Appeal Tribunal and you want to ask a judge to review the decision (we have a self-help clinic with lawyers who can advise you); or

You want to appeal a Review Tribunal decision about your government pension benefits, including CPP, CPP disability or Old Age Security.

Our court cases in this area over the past few years include the following:
