Re:Rental property. If someone has a rental property, are they considered to have a business and an income? If someone has benefits of $2000 from LTD, for example, and the rental income is $2000 a month, does that mean that is deducted?

I have been on LTD for approximately 18 months. My LTD provider asked me to see an Occupational Therapist for rehabilitation. I am now doing a goal attainment program with the OT that the Insurance company chose. I have to keep a log of my activities online that the OT reviews with me each week. I feel that when the program is over in a few weeks, the insurance company will want me to go back to work. I still don't feel ready to work. Is this type of program used by Insurance Companies to get you back to work? I feel like I made a mistake agreeing to this program and logging my daily activities. Is there anything that I can do?

I have been off work since January 2020 because I had restrictions from my doctor (no standing, no walking, needs to sit) and my workplace (a manufacturing company) said they could not accommodate me with those restrictions and to go off on Short term disability, which I did. My benefits company deemed me "totally disabled" from my workplace and transferred me to Long term disability after a year, but only for another maximum of 2 years because I am capable of other types of employment (sitting in an office). When I do get another job and "quit" at my workplace, am I entitled to severance pay because they basically forced me to get another job?

Hello I am not sure what medical information my doctors have put in their reports. From watching your television show I thought that if you were approved for ccp disability that it is much more difficult for the insurance company to cut you off. Is this true?

Hello I am on long term disability but my insurance company says that they are going to cut me off after the two year mark. They got me to apply for CCP disability and I got approved for that and I am receiving that. I also applied for the disability tax credit and I got approved for that. Will they be able to cut me off at the two year mark?
