I applied for ODSP in may of last year, right now i'm at the stage of waiting to meet with the tribunal the problem is while i can't work the bills keep coming and things keep getting worse.

i'm on OW and use the foodbank but it still does not provide enough. has any one reached out to their MPP to have the tribunal meeting pushed up? is this a possibilty? or is it just a case of waiting 6 months to a year to meet with the tribunal.

I'm getting to the point that things are feeling really dark.

Hi everyone, I’m currently looking to transition into a remote career. I’ve been dealing with IBD/Crohn’s and associated arthritic issues, which has made me shift my focus toward work-from-home opportunities.

I know that disability is an option for me, but it’s not something I want to do. I’d much rather find a way to stay in the workforce and be a productive member of society.

Has anyone here successfully managed a career while dealing with these kinds of health challenges? What kind of roles are you in? I’m in my 40s and feeling a bit worried about starting over—is it realistic to pivot to a new field at this stage, or am I overthinking it?

TLDR version: how long of a wait are people seeing for an appointment with the tribunal?

I've been fighting with ODSP for over a year now. I had applied for ow a year ago but my wife was getting EI (700$ every two weeks) at the time they decided she made too much on EI so we don't qualify...

It took 5 months for them to get back to me on any stage after going to my MPP. When I found out the "lost" my paperwork so my application fell into limbo.

I'm working with a legal clinic now and I was denied my initial application and the internal review.

Now I'm waiting to meet with the tribunal.

So as mentioned before hand, how long are people seeing for wait times to get in to see the tribunal?

My colour-blind brothers and sisters (let's face it mostly brothers, as roughly 95% of the colour-blind community is male).

Nonetheless! Today I write to break the silence and blow the whistle on a fact that we have all known, but are called crazy for pointing out, that being:

The vast majority of colours are FAKE!

That's right, we no longer need to kneel before the powers of Big Pigment!

We know the fact that paint companies take a standard grey, drop a milligram of blue in it to make a "new hue," then slap some pretentious name on it, selling a gallon for an extra $40.

And the worst part is that people with ”normal” vision pretend they can actually tell them apart! Looking at a colour wheel pretending each pixel actually makes a difference, they talk about the “warm undertones” of Morning Frost, but in reality, it's all lies and fabrications.

They get you when you're young with a box of 24 crayons, but the wealthy elites have the big pack of 152 colours. “Artists” have a pack of pastels with hundreds of colours, meanwhile companies like Corel hit you with true corporate extortion every single year, “updating” their list to charge a fee for a "new colour palette"—literally holding pixels hostage, charging real-world cash for a specific combination of ones and zeros. They’ve successfully monetized light wavelengths!

But honestly, the joke is on them. While everyone else is spending a fortune chasing whatever fake shade of indigo is trending this week, the colour-blind community is completely immune to the trap. We see right through the corporate matrix. Keep your magentas, taupe, lavender, and your annual software updates—the world works perfectly fine without them…

What the hell is taupe anyway?
