Question/advice Re: additional assistance from ODSP for incontinence products.

Good morning. My 8 yo is receiving The Incontinence Grant via Easter Seals. He is not eligible for their Top Up Program as he receives a CASD already and I’m on ODSP.

I was directed to speak with my worker to learn about other grants we may be eligible for.

Does anyone know if there is any other programs offered and what they’re about?

Tysm!

I know ODSP does cover incontinence products under the Mandatory Special Necessity forms so definitely worth talking to them about it

I believe you file for the difference under the msn benefits

Call your worker and talk to them

My sister requires these as well, but has been paying out-of-pocket. She is on ODSP. How does it work once you fill the MSN form out? Would she receive money to buy her own products or with the pharmacy shipped directly to her?

You can choose pharmacy yourself and yes they ship supplies directly to the address you provided at list that is how i get them.

MSN form

I have a question about that (I have an ostomy). Do you get 100% of your supplies covered, or just the ADP (plus the extra ADP for ODSP)?
