What is ODSP?

The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is designed to provide financial and other forms of support to individuals with disabilities in Ontario. This program aims to help you cover your basic living expenses, health-related costs, and employment supports.

Coverage for Incontinence Supplies:

ODSP does cover the cost of incontinence supplies for eligible individuals. This includes a range of products such as adult diapers, briefs, pull-ups, pads, and other essential items. The goal is to ease the financial burden associated with managing incontinence, ensuring that you have access to the products you need.

To qualify for ODSP coverage for incontinence supplies, you must meet specific criteria:
