If your CPP Disability application has been denied — or you’re struggling to get through the process — you’re not alone. Many people in British Columbia find the Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D) system confusing, overwhelming, and unfair.
At Resolute Employment & Disability Lawyers, we help British Columbians navigate CPP disability claims from start to finish, including appeals to the Social Security Tribunal. With virtual consultations, flat-fee pricing, and over a decade of national experience, we’ll help you move forward with confidence.
We Understand the Struggles You’re Facing
- Your application was denied, and you don’t know why
- You’re overwhelmed by medical reports, forms, and deadlines
- You’re confused about eligibility or next steps
- You’re facing a tribunal hearing and feel completely unprepared
- You’re worried your condition won’t be taken seriously
We Get It — And We’re Here to Help
Our founder, David Brannen, experienced the devastation of a denied disability claim as a child, when his grandfather was refused workplace compensation. That experience shaped his life and his legal career.
Before becoming a lawyer, David worked as a licensed occupational therapist, which allows him to understand medical records and health conditions in a way few lawyers can. He is now one of Canada’s leading voices on CPP Disability law — and the author of two books on the subject.

What Our Clients Are Saying

When I reached out to Resolute, it was because I was at my breaking point.
Resolute took all that stess off my shoulders. They took it all over, collected all the necessary information and made a point to check in every few weeks to update me on their progress. It took about six months, and when I got the call from my insurance company notifying me that they had accepted the appeal, the relief that came over me was indescribable. I absolutely recommend Resolute.Jenn P

Undoubtedly, the most exceptional legal guidance for individuals with disabilities. I am immensely grateful for discovering their expertise. Nearly everyone has a family member with a disability or knows a friend who does. Finding tailored recommendations can be quite challenging, often coming at a high cost and yielding minimal results. Resolute in their support, they treat you as if you were part of their own family. I encourage you to visit their website and join their informative weekly Zoom sessions.

David Brannen and his staff are excellent, knowledgeable, conscientious, helpful, honest and kind to deal with. They answered all my questions honestly and promptly. Hiring a lawyer online may seem daunting, but no fear in hiring them. They won my case for CPP disability after my own two rejections, which I am truly grateful for. Top-notch firm and individuals. Thank-you so much!
