Noticing a trend while processing Ontario data: @3mpwrapp.bsky.social

ONSBT decisions (ODSP/OW) are significantly higher in volume than ONWSIAT.

Different systems—but it highlights the scale and frequency of social benefit appeals.

More data = deeper pattern detection.

disabled.badass (i think threads) when I say I'm "too disabled to work" I don't mean I'm too disabled to physically be able to work any job, I'm saying I'm too disabled for the VAST MAJORITY of employers to want to hire me. people need to understand this.

5 years with WSIB.

Medical evidence means nothing when they just invent new reasons to deny.

Delays. Denials. No accountability.

This system wears injured workers down until they give up.

We’re done waiting.

WSIB’s “hidden language of denial” just got decoded. @3mpwrApp

I analyzed 11,430 ONWSIAT decisions (2020-2026).

“Pre-existing” appears in 13.3% of rulings — 20% for knees.
