Ask your question and a Long-term Disability Lawyer in Canada will answer in minutes

My Union has told me that if I have a problem with my LTD Payments I have to hire a lawyer the Union will not help me if there is a problem with My long term disability insurance company. Is that true . My insurance company is not paying me properly Nor are they paying me on time. My Union is doing nothing about it they suggest I hire a long term disability lawyer on my own.

My LTD Insurance company is short changing me on payments. My company policy States there is no CPP deduction If you are deemed to be permanently disabled. All source payments will not apply there shall not be any deductions made from Canada pension to the insurance company. I have the policy but yet my insurance company is refusing and they are deducting My CPP. What do I do with this matter.

My LTD insurance company is reducing my payments. I have a Union that is not returning my phone calls I've left them 15 documented phone calls. What do I do if my Union rep and my Union present is not calling me back. I've been disabled for 5 years now my insurance company is cutting my payments. I understand there's a Union involved and it's hard for a lawyer to get involved however there has to be something that can be done here if no one is calling me back from the Union office there has to be an outside source that I can reach out to for help I want to hire a lawyer... My doctor has advised LTD they should not cut my payments there's no reason I believe they see my Union is weak I need to hire a outside lawyer immediately I have a family to feed.

I have been on LTD for 16 years. I notified Canada Life in January/22 that I was retiring on February 1/22 and that my pension would put my income over the 70% allowed. I have sent copies of documents confirming my retirement date and pension income and did not receive any further correspondence from Canada Life. I continue to receive monthly payments from the insurance company. Can Canada Life request this money back or can I keep it. I am also receiving CCP Disability.

My company just surprised me with a letter stating I've missed too much work over the last five years. Now they want documentation about my fibromyalgia and what they should expect. First, why wait five years. Second, I've always been open with my diagnosis and accommodating to their needs. Why would they not ask sooner for proof? Can they fire me over this?
