Hi there, I am living in Toronto and my affordable osap repayment is about 620$ (about 15%) of my net income. I am married and my wife is not working. If I put all fixed expense aside such as mortgage, car loan, tax, utility bills, remaining would be about 800$. If I pay 620$ for osap, only 180$ remains for food grocery and .... which is almost impossible to survive. What should I really do? Any advise? By the way, my permanent disability conformed already with NSLSC. Thanks |

Is there a good reason why your wife can't work? (At home with new baby, etc). Is she actively looking for work? In this case, I do believe the system has the right to say, hey you gotta pay your debt, and if that means lowering your standard of living for a while, than so be it. A person with a mortgage and car loan, has sufficient cash, and your student loan payment should have been considered before you took on these other responsibilities. Having said that, if your wife just recently lost her job, or you recently had a baby, then you might be able to appeal the affordable payment.

My wife is actively looking for job. Look, my mortgage is about 1600 per month. As I said, I am more than welcome if my credit berue checked with NSLSC to make sure my left over. I am under huge debt because of not having income during my study. I was married when I started my PhD and we did not have any income other than osap. Of we were lucky and I started my study now, since my income was below threshold, my tuition was free. By the way, I used the car to go to work. No car no work. Also, I am already diagnosed with some gradually progressing disabling decease along with severe depression which even tomorrow is not clear for me and already struggling to keep my job. It is already documented with my doctor and approved by NSLSC as permanent disability. Do it make sense? Also, since my decease is progressing and I might not be able to drive, I am thinking of applying for severe permanent disability. Any recommendation? |

| If everything you've stated about your disability is provable, it sounds to me like you've got a great case for appeal. Having said that, being married, I am uncertain how your wife's circumstances would fit into that appeal. Perhaps, Johnny can help you with this. Hopefully, he'll reply to this thread at some point and you can discuss it further with him. |

Hi guys, I would totally agree with Royal. It all rests on what you can prove to them that demonstrates hardship with an extenuating circumstance or two that places the loan and it's repayment in the cumbersome/burdening/Zero opportunity barrel. If you have medical documentation that supports your statement that it will get worse, not better, then this is your foundation.
