CPP Disability Benefits- Special Procedures For Terminally Ill Applicants
The terminally ill people who apply for the disability benefits under the Canada Pension plan enjoy certain special privileges. The biggest benefit is that such applicants have their applications reviewed within 48 hours of the receipt of their application. These CPP disability benefits applications are treated on a priority basis so that the benefit payment could be given to the applicants as soon as possible. For such applicants the department provides other benefits like benefits to the survivors, children's benefits and death benefits. These benefits are meant to support the family of the disabled applicants in unforeseen circumstances.
