If the ODSP or DAU says you cannot get ODSP, you can appeal.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Internal review<\/h2>\n

Write to the office that made the decision and ask for an internal review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In an internal review, someone else from that office looks at the decision and decides whether to change it.<\/p>\n

CLEO has a tool that helps you write a letter to the ODSP or DAU. Go to stepstojustice.ca\/ask-odsp-review<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Social Benefits Tribunal<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you do not agree with the internal review decision, you can appeal to the Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT).<\/p>\n

The SBT is not part of the ODSP or DAU and can make a different decision.<\/p>\n

CLEO has a resource about how to make an appeal and important deadlines<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-61485","publications-page","type-publications-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nIf you do not get ODSP - CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario \/ \u00c9ducation juridique communautaire Ontario)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cleo.on.ca\/en\/publications-page\/if-you-do-not-get-odsp\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"If you do not get ODSP - CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario \/ \u00c9ducation juridique communautaire Ontario)\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If the ODSP or DAU says you cannot get ODSP, you can appeal.
