The CPP Disability Self-Help Guides Application Guide, prepared by Disability Alliance BC provides a comprehensive resource for individuals seeking Canada Pension Plan disability benefits (CPP-D). The guide covers essential information about CPP, including payment rates, eligibility criteria, contributions, and special provisions. It details the application process in six steps, emphasizing obtaining and reviewing the application, completing the questionnaire, obtaining a medical report, gathering supporting documentation, assembling the application, and submitting it to Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). The guide also addresses specific aspects such as the definition of disability, minimum qualifying periods, and considerations for contributions from Quebec or other countries. Payment rates and additional benefits for children are explained, along with instructions for individuals whose CPP-D rate may be lower than provincial disability assistance. The document concludes with information on appealing a denial and includes appendices with supplementary materials, sample letters for doctors, and contact resources.
