We have updated our CPP-D self-help guides and they are now available in Chinese and Punjabi, as well as English. This project was made possible through the generous support of the Notary Foundation of BC and the Law Foundation of BC.

Our four CPP-D guides are:

1. Benefits Checklist
2. Application Guide
3. Appeal Guide: Part 1 – The Reconsideration Request
4. Appeal Guide: Part 2 – Appealing to theCanada Pension Review Tribunal

These resources are designed to help people apply for or appeal the denial of CPP-D. The checklist explains what other programs CPP-D recipients may be eligible for. All the guides can be accessed from at http://bccpd.bc.ca/money.htm.

Order Hard Copies

If you would like hard copies of the guides, we will mail them to you free of charge. Please contact Val at 604-875-0188 or at feedback@bccpd.bc.ca to place your order.

If you have any questions about CPP-D, please contact our Advocacy Access Program at 604-872-1278 or 1-800-663-1278 and ask to speak to a CPP-D advocate.

Bunny and BCCPD staff, Board and volunteers wish you all a very happy holiday and a peaceful New Year.

Every organization should be prepared for an emergency but are you? Through our partnership with Volunteer Canada, we have trained 20 trainers from disability organizations and volunteer centres to deliver our community training in emergency planning for people with disabilities.

The training manual we created, Prepare to Survive – Prepare to Help, is full of exercises and resources for community groups who want to play a role in emergency planning and response in their communities.

Now, PowerPoint presentations have been prepared to help trainers use the manual.

Visit our Library/Emergency Preparedness page, and  click on the Community Organizations section at the top of the page. You will see all the Prepare To Survive resources there, including videos.
