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.

Government slashes benefits to seriously injured MVA victims and calls it “Promoting consumer protection”
It’s a sad day for Ontario consumers when our government puts the
interests of big business insurance companies ahead of the health and
well-being of Ontario’s injured auto accident victims. The slashes to
auto insurance coverage in the 2015 budget can only be seen as a step
closer to public auto insurance when with every cost saving solution the
IBC comes up with in order to curtail claims means the unsuspecting
tax-payer will pay more of the costs for victims through our publicly
funded programs.

Ontario already has an auto insurance claims disaster: Ontario’s Auto Accident Victims in Crisis
We’ve been overpaying for years: Returns on Equity for Automobile Insurance Companies in Ontario
What are auto accident victims losing so Insurers can gain greater profit on the backs of the injured?
The definition of catastrophic is set to be severely restricted to make the definition consistent with the latest medical evidence. That will likely mean that combining physical and psychological impairments will no longer be permitted. This will see many severely accident victims without adequate coverage. Coverage available for catastrophically impaired victims will be cut in half. The limit of $1 million each ($2 million right now for both) for med/rehab and attendant care will be limited to $1 million total for both med/rehab AND attendant care combined. There will be optional coverage available at an added cost. The standard duration for med/rehab benefits will be reduced to 5 years instead of the previous 10-year maximum, except for children. Costs for care will then fall on Ontario’s taxpayers through OHIP and various public supports. Non-catastrophic coverage will be reduced. If the budget is passed, med/rehab and attendant care coverage will be $65,000, down from the current combined total of $86,000. Consumers will have an option to increase this coverage up to $1 million at an added cost. The six month waiting period for non-earner benefits will be eliminated the duration of non-earner benefits will be limited to two years after the accident. The government will be introducing amendments to the Insurance Act to adjust the deductible and the disappearing deductible amount to reflect inflation since 2003 and link it to future changes in inflation. The deductible or the amount you insurer is ‘allowed’ to keep when a claimant takes the insurer to court is presently $30,000 for cases in civil court that are worth less than $100,000. This is already a deterrent to victims’ ability to hold insurers accountable. There will be further changes to allow for the effect of the tort deductible to be taken into account when determining a party’s entitlement to costs.

Fallout Of OTLA Auto Insurance Report Divides The Industry
Fallout Of OTLA Auto Insurance Report Divides The Industry
Ontarians are used to paying the highest premiums in Canada for auto insurance, but overpaying by $840 million in one year alone is still leaving a sour taste in the mouth for many people. A report released last week on behalf of the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association (OTLA) revealed that insurers are collecting record profits from overcharged insurance rates.http://www.lowestrates.ca/
