What is the Social Benefits Tribunal?
The Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT) is independent from MCSS and will consider the written evidence in your case and then hear you describe your disability in person at a hearing. The SBT Member will then decide whether you meet the disability definition set out in the law. The SBT would also be the Tribunal to decide whether or not you financially qualify for ODSP if that is the decision you are appealing. Our legal clinic can assist you with submitting your appeal to the SBT and fax it from our office. We can also give you legal advice on how strong your case is and in many cases we can represent you at the Tribunal hearing. Please contact us for free legal advice on appealing to the SBT as soon as possible after receiving your internal review decision.
