5. Get a decision

The Social Benefits Tribunal (SBT) member makes a decision after the hearing.

You get the decision in the mail, usually within 2 months. The SBT also sends the decision to the office that made the decision you appealed. This is either the Disability Adjudication Unit or your local ODSP office.

If you win your appeal, ODSP will have to do what the SBT decision says.

If you lose your appeal, you may want to talk to a community legal clinic to find out if there are other steps you can take.
