If I break my leg and have to go to the ER it's free which is pretty good, although I have to pay money for the ambluance(not covered by "free" healthcare) but if my teeth are fucked up or I need physiotherapy for my leg then i have to fork it out.

You can get on ODSP for social anxiety if it's debilitating enough. Easy to fake.

>>2928657
it depends on the disability, and if your male or female. I wouldn't expect much more than 1200 per month from ODSP. You get a certain allotment for rent, meds, and basic needs.

>> No.2928757

What about past work experience/your assets? I'd imagine that you must have some sort of limit to how much investments you have let's say before they cut you off.
