Can ltd and cpp discuss my cpp application? Ltd want me to sign two forms to allow to communicate with cpp. One to send my information and one to communicate to them.

I'm 52yrs old and I've been on LTD and CPPD for 11yrs. It started with having cancer and over the years other serious mental and physical impairments have developed and continue to render me disabled. The insurance company essentially leaves me alone except for annual activity of daily living reports I need to complete and attending physician updates for my Dr to complete. They used to ask for these every 6mths but it's now annually. I've also been followed a few times, from what I can tell, by a private investigator over the years. My primary care physician agrees I'll never be able to get back to work and I have both objective and subjective medical evidence to support my claim. My Dr and I have discussed many times that I'll never get back to work but he's never explicitly put that down on the insurance forms. Will the insurance company ever advise that I'm simply approved until I turn 65yrs old or am I going to have to continuously keep getting forms to fill out proving my disabilities?

I have been on LTD for almost 5 years now and I can say my Employer has been good to continue to pay their regular half of my pension plan and EHB since, and has not terminated me. I'm paid disability rate of half by co. insurance and half by CPPD. I will reach 65 years old soon. My question is will my employer owe me any severance pay when I reach 65 as I'm assuming they will let me go then? As all private disability payments and CPPD will stop? Or is the fact they continued to pay their half of benefits and company pension mean that's all I should expect? Its only been a couple of hundred per month in pension. I don't want to sound greedy but just don't want to sign any paperwork sent if I'm owed something more at 65 and they terminate me that I'm not aware of. Thanks.

I have been on LTD Since July 1 for Major depression and Anxiety with an attempt of suicide . I have been on work accommodations since 1996 for my back issues. Sitting and standing would aggravate my back issues causing me to go on short term disability multiple times over past years with the same insurance company that has granted me long term for my depression. Can I use my back issues in my long term claim at the two year mark ?
