Was your claim for Long-Term disability (LTD) benefits turned down by your insurance provider, even though you cannot complete the duties of your job due to a disabling medical condition? Have your LTD benefits payments been prematurely terminated, even though your disabling medical condition has still not improved?
If you have been unfairly treated by your insurance provider and the payments they rightfully owe you have been deliberately withheld, our Whitby Long-Term disability lawyers may be able to provide you with crucial legal assistance. Our Long-Term disability lawyers serving Whitby are committed to fighting on behalf of mistreated members of the local community, and do our best to help them recover the accountability and compensation they deserve.
Through no fault of their own, people living with a disability who can no longer fulfill the professional obligations of their jobs are often faced with impossible circumstances. Due to factors that are completely out of their control, these workers may become reliant on the benefits available to them through their insurance plan. Without access to LTD benefits, many people with disabling medical conditions might struggle to continue supporting themselves and their loved ones.
Standing up to a large, corporate entity like an insurance company can seem like an insurmountable task. And while policyholders should be entitled to appeal their insurersโ determinations about the coverage they are entitled to, doing so without legal representation can feel intimidating. Fearing a long, complicated, and expensive legal procedure, many mistreated insurance policyholders simply walk away from the fight instead of standing up for what they are owed.

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.
