The appellant appealed a decision of the Social Benefits Tribunal denying her disability benefits under the Ontario Disability Support Program Act.
The Tribunal found her impairments were not sufficiently verified.
The Divisional Court held the Tribunal erred in law by applying an overly strict standard for verification and by failing to consider the cumulative effect of her physical and mental impairments.
The appeal was allowed, and the appellant was declared eligible for income support.
