Representative Organizations

If you are not satisfied with a disability decision, you can contact a “representative” (an individual who acts on your behalf and helps present your case during hearings) to assist with your Review or Appeal before the Board.

The Bureau of Pensions Advocates, a free legal service provided by the Government of Canada, presents most Reviews and Appeals to the Board. Other service organizations, such as the Royal Canadian Legion or The War Amps of Canada, also represent applicants.
