The complainant alleged discrimination based on disability regarding the special diet allowance under Ontario's social assistance system.
The Tribunal dismissed claims related to chronic constipation, hepatic disorder, recurrent urinary tract infection, and migraines because the complainant failed to provide evidence of general recognition in the Ontario medical community that modifications to a regular healthy diet were required.
Claims related to chronic wounds, extreme obesity, hyperlipidemia, renal failure, and food allergy were withdrawn following a settlement.
The Tribunal issued directions for the complainant to provide further materials to pursue her remaining claims regarding osteoporosis and hypercholesterolemia.
