JO v Minister of Employment and Social Development

Because auto-enrolment was not possible and the application date therefore controls retroactivity, the OAS Act limits GIS back payments to 11 months before the application; the Tribunal lacks authority to order additional payments or to compel the Minister to remediate alleged erroneous advice, so the appellant is not entitled to payments for July–November 2022 and the appeal is dismissed.

Social security/benefits law 2025 SST 538

DS v Minister of Employment and Social Development

On the balance of probabilities the Minister proved the appellant ceased to be disabled as of January 2022 because medical evidence showed improved functional limitations and the appellant was regularly capable of performing substantially gainful work from that date, as evidenced by sustained full‑time contract engagements and earnings above the substantially gainful thresholds; employer flexibility did not render the work benevolent and therefore did not negate the reality of the appellant's capacity to work.
