am under 25 and full-time in university. My mother was receiving CPP Disability benefits for a number of years and I recently was approved for CPP benefits because of my age/school status/mom's condition.
My mother passed on December 31, 2017 and I have a few questions for legality sake and to avoid being liable for paying back the government:
- I was recently approved for payback amount for my my school attendance in 2015/2016 of approx $2000 due to be paid on January 4, 2018. Am I entitled to this amount since it was approved and is intended for last year and when my mother was still alive? Or will I have to pay it back to the government?
- Am I entitled to the $243 monthly amount for January 2018 (due to be deposited on the 30th)?
If anyone has any knowledge about this matter I'd greatly appreciate it to be prepared and knowledgeable about the situation and avoid potential stress and financial issues.
