ODSP backpay and OW overpayment

I’m currently receiving Ontario Works and have an overpayment owing.

I’ve been waiting for my ODSP decision since November 2025. If I’m approved at court around December 2026, I understand I may receive retroactive ODSP backpay.

My question is: What happens to my ODSP backpay if I already owe Ontario Works? Will the entire ODSP backpay be applied toward my OW overpayment once approved, or would I receive the backpay directly without it affecting my outstanding balance?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? I’d really appreciate hearing how it worked for you.

Opzelura Coverage Options for Uninsured Canadian Patients

I was wondering if there is any way to receive additional financial assistance for this cream through the manufacturer. I completed the assistance application, but I was only approved for a 20% discount.

Unfortunately, I am currently unemployed and cannot afford the remaining cost, especially since I have been prescribed five refills.

I am currently receiving Ontario Works government’s assistance and have reached out to them regarding drug coverage, but I am still waiting for a response. Any additional assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
