If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Oh, man, that bites. Am I correct in remembering that you're here in Canada? If so, there are a couple of folk here who might have some very good advice for you.
Sometimes the fighting the good fight is over-rated, isn't it. But you know what, you're an AS kicker now. Go kick 'em in the butt!
Hugs,

I would pm Danvon or Gerri, as both are in Ontario and both get ODSP. They'd be the best to advise you on this.
I hope it works out for you. Dear god, they don't make it easy.
Hugs,

Down here in the States we almost always have to lawyer up to get a penny of our own money back.
I wish I could be of help.

AS not continuous??? That's good to know... when is the pain that I have EVERY DAY going to stop, I guess that doesn't mean continuous. Good to know I will be getting better soon. Sorry to hear you were denied, that does really stink, big time. I know in the States you almost always are denied the first time in the hopes that you will just go away. Hope someone here can give you good advice as to which way to turn. In the mean time I'm rooting for you!!!
I can not defeat you but I will not let you win

Its is very disappointing. Keep on it and eventually it will be in your favor. I think the worst part of the Ontario system is they make you be dead broke before they will tell you they wont help.

In the UK I'd say to always get assistance to appeal anything like that, though not sure what is available to you in canada. Here it would be the Disability Welfare Advisor at the Citizens Advice Bureau, or any one of a number of other disability advocacy organisations who had access to the decision maker manuals.
PM those KA members who have done it before, but see if there isn't a way you can get free assistance as well from an organisation or lawyer who knows the system.
And yes, it stinks. I think most countries make you go over and over the same stuff again before you get any benefits
