Social Security Tribunal appeal stacked against claimant

 Via Facsimile 1-855-814-4117 Social Security Tribunal of Canada

RE:  IN THE MATTER OF APPEAL GP-xx-xxx

Dear Social Security Tribunal:

I acknowledge receipt of a letter by xxx -IS Operations Manager, General Division Dated July 16, 2015 informing me that your are now “ready to proceed” with my Appeal.

I do not understand how you can be ready to proceed without fulfilling your obligation to provide me a copy of my previously requested file. 

Until I am able to receive a complete copy of my file I am unable to proceed in defending myself and presenting the facts.

As you know my file represents the how, when, and why I have an appeal with you, and is the record of events for any future actions against the Social Security Tribunal in the event of the continuation of these unjust denials. Its all relevant. I wish to discuss with the Member assigned my file all relevant information regarding my file and my Appeal. So again, I kindly ask for an updated copy of my file.

Even if I am unsuccessful in my Appeal I still require everything that I sent to the Tribunal to be part of the record as it confirms and demonstrates the facts of my long journey through this preconceived nightmare designed to deny, humiliate and thoroughly frustrate legitimate victims that have already been threw enough interrogations from their insurance companies hired guns and wordhirelings. All orchestrated by the IBC and bad politicians that pray on the week, sick, and injured, for profit. 

Doctors that don't stand up for legitimately injured patients are most to blame in this charade of politics and money makers. My 7 year Appeal process is just another example of an upside down world where the money doesn’t go to where its suppose to. Bad Doctors that don't properly investigate are at the core of the backlog problems at F.S.C.O, our courts, and the Social Security Tribunal of Canada.

As Service Canada has used my blogging (about them) as an excuse not to pay my disability benefits attached you will find my latest blog entry advocating for the thousands of people waiting at your Tribunal because of bad decisions by disgraceful, dishonourable and unprofessional Service Canada employees.

As you know my faxes to you and my blog still asks for the Chairperson of the Social Security Tribunal xxx to answers numerous, unanswered, questions.

I have no acknowledgement that the Chair is getting my correspondences. Is she receiving anything? Should I resend?

Also, will I be permitted to audio/video record my appeal hearing?

Finally, attached you will find my completed “Hearing Information Form”. You will notice that I have not answered the witness question at this time. What are the rules for witnesses?

I submit that anyone that has correspondences, investigations, or relevant knowledge of this appeal makes them a witness to this Appeal. Furthermore, is there a limit to the number of witnesses?

With my injuries, no consumer protection, no consultation or mind reading skills I continue to have difficult understanding why this process is designed so difficult for a legitimately injured person. You should all be ashamed.

Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible in this regard.

Thanks to all those who help me write my letters and blog postings since 2007.

The Social Security Tribunal rush to get rid of Appeals backlog

I finally received the "Hearing Information Form" from the Social Security Tribuanl today regarding my appeal that dates back to my application for Canadian Pention Plan Disability Benefits in 2008, after my MVA of 2007.

A letter was attached stating that my appeal is "ready to proceed". Finally!

The Socal Security Tribuanl is trying to get rid of the backlog of thousands of appeals by this summer:

There was more than enough money to pay Social Security Tribunal members to sit around and do nothing. For the first year of its existence, some tribunal members were paid $100,000 a year without doing any casework. Laws such as these can only be implemented when the population fails to scrutinize and remain vigilant, and falls unquestioningly for the propaganda camouflage.

I hope that when the Tribunal Member that is assigned to my appeal uses the facts, they are never wrong, despite every effort to the contrary.  Lets hope in the big rush by the Social Security Tribuanl to get rid of the Appeals backlog of 14,500 + Canadian appeals that we will all get a fair hearing.

Its already been unreasonable for this to have gone on for this many years, how about at least being fair in the end.

THE SPEED VERSUS JUSTICE ISSUE

There is also the concern about what happens to justice when “fast” becomes a tribunal’s watchword.   The UK Court of Appeal has recently provided us with a timely word of caution.
In Re S-W [2015] EWCA Civ 27, Sir James Munby, President of the Family Division of the UK Court of Appeal, offered this warning about the dangers of speeded up litigation:  

[54] We are all familiar with the aphorism that ‘justice delayed is justice denied’. But justice can equally be denied if inappropriately accelerated. An unseemly rush to judgment can too easily lead to injustice. As Pauffley J warned in Re NL (A child) (Appeal: Interim Care Order: Facts and Reasons) [2014] EWHC 270 (Fam), [2014] 1 FLR 1384, para 40, “Justice must never be sacrificed upon the altar of speed.”

CPP Disability take a number now serving appeal 200,000?

What are the number of appeals backlogged at the Social Security Tribunal?

The following comment was made by Fair Association of Victims for Accident Insurance Reform on the Toronto Sun site back in November of last year.

In February of this year Minister Jason Kenney pledged to wipe out the Social Security Tribunal backlog of 11,000 by this summer.


The backlog was also discussed later in the house by Mr. Robert Aubin (NDP).
He said: "Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday the chair of the Social Security Tribunal confirmed that there are significant delays in the processing of cases: 14,677 cases are languishing on her desk."


So what are the numbers now? 


More importantly, how would you get rid of such a backlog of appeals...fairly?


The Tribunal Chair refuses to acknowledge or respond to my letters as an appeal applicant, or as an advocate for these disabled Canadians that have been waiting for years at the tribunal backlog.


Knowing that these disabled Canadians can't respond our government has reaped the $$$ in withholding these benefits. Appeals in the take-a-number-lineup because of bad decisions by Service Canada and their policy of delay, deny, wait for them to die. 

In my case these benefits that my employers and I have paid into mandatorily since 1979.

And what of my appeal that was launched back in 2008?

Will it be fairly heard after my blogging about the Social Security Tribunal and advocating for the unknown thousands of Appellants?

What do I have to do to be heard and what will It take to at least acknowledge my correspondences by the Social Security Chair Ms. Brazeau.

Crash Survivor 2007.
