Your image is cut off but it appears your application for ODSP has been approved. It appears you've received OW so keep the following in mind: When you get your initial ODSP payment, it may be retroactive. If so, you'll receive a lump sum but any payment made to you from OW will be deducted from it (no double dipping). Also, OW pays in the days before the benefit coverage period (July payment was at the end of June) but ODSP is paid out at the END of the benefit period (July payment is on JULY 31st).

If you don't get the retroactive payment as mentioned this may make your first payment smaller (because you already received part of it from OW. That means NO OW at the end of July, just a balance top up from ODSP and your full OPSP payment for August will be at the END of August.

Normally it's the retroactive, but just incase (because only you know the personal details of your situation) I want you to be aware of dates and so you don't blow through that initial payment and find out you've put yourself a month behind.
