Add Comment Question: 30 years ago I applied for a BC provincial disability with a letter from the doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist and massage therapist that I should not be working due to arthritis, I was denied I did an appeal it was denied do you think if I went to a lawyer back then I may have been approved. Thanks from Jim Answer: Unfortunately, I would need to know which benefit you applied for, and I'd also need to review your medical records and the denial letters you received, in order to give a proper opinion on this.
