Table of Contents
Long-term disability (LTD) benefits can provide eligible insurance policyholders with between 60-70% of their regular earnings when they cannot return to work after receiving a diagnosis for a disabling medical condition. These might include:
- Catastrophic injuries
- Chronic illnesses
- Severe mental health disorders
- Other medical conditions that prevent the policyholder from carrying out the duties of their job
In Georgina, a disability can quickly become an income crisis. Many people commute to work outside the area, rely on seasonal employment, or work in roles that require physical endurance and consistent attendance. When symptoms make it impossible to maintain your job, LTD benefits can become the primary source of stability while you focus on treatment, recovery, and day-to-day needs.
Unfortunately, LTD insurers often deny, delay, or terminate benefits despite the need of the applicant. At Preszler Injury Lawyers, our Georgina long-term disability lawyers help clients challenge insurers to pursue the benefits and compensation they need to support themselves. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation.
Why Georgina Policyholders Are Often Denied LTD Benefits
Many claims for LTD benefits are turned down by insurance providers.
Often, insurers withhold payments to policyholders who submit LTD benefits claims for so-called “invisible” injuries or illnesses. The severity of “invisible” injuries or illnesses is subjective, meaning there is no metric or test to objectively observe their impacts. As a result, many policyholders who should be eligible to receive LTD benefits receive a denied claim.
In real terms, this can mean an insurer disputes the seriousness of your limitations, questions consistency in treatment, relies heavily on selective records, or argues you can work in a different capacity. For Georgina residents, the practical burden of frequent appointments, specialist referrals, and travel to treatment in larger centres can make the process feel even more difficult, especially when benefits are needed to cover regular living costs.

long-term disability FAQs
Here are some commonly asked questions for long-term disability claims
Can I appeal a CPP Disability denial?
Yes, CPP denials can be appealed through the Social Security Tribunal, which reviews applications and medical evidence.
What if my doctor doesn’t support my disability claim?
You may seek a second opinion from another qualified physician to provide additional evidence.
Can the insurance company cut off my benefits without notice?
Insurers may stop benefits if they believe you no longer meet the disability definition, but they must provide reasons.
Will my employer know about my disability claim?
Employers usually only know that you’re receiving LTD benefits, not the details of your medical condition.
What happens if I’m approved for CPP Disability benefits?
Your LTD insurer may deduct CPP benefits from your LTD payments. Approval for CPP Disability may strengthen your LTD case.
Can I work part-time while receiving long-term disability benefits?
Sometimes, policies allow partial benefits if you can work reduced hours. The rules depend on your policy language.
Can my LTD benefits be taxed?
Taxation depends on whether your premiums were paid with pre-tax or after-tax income. If your employer paid the premiums, your benefits may be taxable.
What if my employer terminates me while on disability?
Employment termination doesn’t automatically cancel your LTD benefits. Your coverage may continue as long as you were covered when you became disabled.
