I work in BC, so can't help you with this. However, I will say benefit denials are very common, many times with little or no reason.

One issue with getting a lawyer on contingency is that settlements usually occurs sometime after benefits are denied, and you may not settle for many years. It's typically a cash settlement in lieu of benefits.

You may not be at that stage yet, as it sounds like you still have a chance of getting on benefits. But yes, talking to a lawyer won't hurt.
