ODSP
Warning: Some of this info is out of date! We are working on it.
OCAP knows that the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) needs to raise the rates and there are major problems with the program: the application process can be demeaning and invasive, ODSP uses a medical approach that does not recognize discrimination and other social problems and the program does not reflect the realities of many disabled people's lives, among other things. However, we encourage people to apply for ODSP because you will get more money than welfare and because you are less likely to be hassled than on welfare (but this still happens way to much).
