The Tuesday Morning Application
"Last Tuesday, I tried to make toast. I burned it because I forgot I turned the toaster on. Then I sat on the kitchen floor and cried for 20 minutes because I didn't have energy to make another piece. This happens often."
The result: A kind worker explained she didn’t need to fill out the long "Self-Report" yet. First, she had to apply for as a financial bridge. OW would fast-track her ODSP application. Lesson: Always apply for OW first. It provides immediate (small) financial help while your ODSP medical review is pending. You can apply for OW online or by phone. Step 2: The Medical Package (Your Doctor is Your Ally) Lena received the ODSP Medical Report and Activities of Daily Living form. This was the scary part. She booked a double appointment with her family doctor, Dr. Singh.
One morning, instead of opening the big package, Lena did the one thing she’d been avoiding. She called ServiceOntario’s Disability Support Program hotline (1-800-808-2268).
