How do I appeal CPP?
The CPP Disability Reconsideration request is the first step in the 3-level CPP Disability appeal process. But in order to start the appeal you must first notify Service Canada in writing within 90 days from the day you received the CPP Disability denial letter that you would like them to reconsider their decision.
How can I increase my CPP benefits?
If you are self-employed, you will contribute both the employee and employer portions. This means once the phase-in is complete you will pay a contribution rate of 11.9% on earnings up to the first earnings ceiling and 8% on the second earnings ceiling. This will in turn increase your benefit amounts.
What happens if I don’t qualify for CPP?
In order to be eligible for CPP disability benefits, you first must have contributed the required amount to the CPP program during your working career. If you have not contributed the required amount, you will not receive benefits, regardless of your level of disability.
What is a reconsideration letter?
A letter of reconsideration for an appeal is a letter you can write to an organization urging them to reconsider a decision it has made. You may also write a letter of reconsideration if you are applying for benefits or authorization from a government body or organization that has denied your request.
Can I contribute to CPP if I’m not working?
You do not contribute while you are receiving a CPP Disability benefit, or during periods when you have no earnings or when your earnings are below the $3,500 minimum amount.
