Does an applicant have the capacity to form an intention to apply for benefits?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from A. H. v Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, 2015 CanLII 92211 (SST):

The capacity to form the intention to apply for benefits is not different in kind from the capacity to form an intention with respect to other choices which present themselves to an applicant. The fact that a particular choice may not suggest itself to an applicant because of her world view does not indicate a lack of capacity (Sedrak v. Minister of Social Development 2008 FCA 86).
