If you become disabled and can no longer work, you may be eligible to apply for and receive Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Disability Benefits. Our firm can assist you through all levels of the CPP Disability Application process. This can include assistance with the initial application, the reconsideration stage, and if required, filing an appeal with the Social Security Tribunal (SST). Your monthly CPP Disability amount is based on the contributions you have made to the Canada Pension Plan in addition to a fixed amount. If you have dependent children, you are eligible for an additional payment for each child. Contact us to find out if it is beneficial for you to apply for this benefit, or need assistance appealing a denial.
The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board provides benefits to workers who have suffered injuries arising out of the workplace. However, knowing what you may be entitled to, or navigating the system, can be overwhelming when you are suffering from the effects of your injury. At Zare Paralegal Services we are paralegals who advocate for injured workers. We can manage your WSIB claim and represent you at your hearing before the WSIB Appeal Services Division and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal.
The team at Zare Paralegal Services has extensive experience dealing with PTSD claims, particularly among First Responders. PTSD is now recognized to be work-related unless otherwise shown, this is what is commonly referred to as a presumption. This came into effect with Bill 163, Supporting Ontario’s First Responders Act. As these claims can be quite complex, we offer guidance and support in navigating the WSIB claims process while our clients focus on their recovery. We also handle any appeals surrounding entitlement to benefits for PTSD, including any disputes around entitlement to loss of earnings.
