I am on Disability for TOS. It's listed as PPD but I dont know if that stands for Permanent Partial Disabled or Partial Permanent Disabled (is there a difference?).

I did not have to appeal, but my case took 4 years and an eviction notice plus my Senators intervention to finally get the award from Social Security. I guess the medical records spoke for themselves. My surgeon did write a general letter as to my condition, pointing out that a successful surgical outcome does not automatically mean a return to employment.

I did use a popular SSD Advocate Law Firm. Do you have someone similar in Canada?
