His application was denied at every administrative level. The Social Security Tribunal (General Division) determined the maximum qualifying period for Brown was December 31, 2013. This was the date by which Brown must be found to be disabled to qualify for CPP disability benefits. The General Division found while Brown had significant impairment by December 2013, he did not make reasonable efforts to follow the treatments recommended by his physicians. The General Division held Brown’s doctors had advised him to lose weight for 12 years, but he had not attempted to follow this medical treatment until 2020.
