I have recently done a FCE to satisfy my insurer Manulife but the findings made no sense. The conduct of the assessor was concerning in multiple levels. After this assessment I have since moved to Kitchener. I have a new family doctor. They are now suddenly asking my new doctor to comment on the FCE report. The doctor is in the process of investigating my previous and new health concerns. He doesn't want to comment now without all the results but they are pressuring him and I and have given us a deadline of March 23rd, even though some of the newer testing and results may not be available but then. Manulife has said they will not stop my end of March check but if they don't get there answer from the doctor they can hold back my April check. Can you please let me know what we can do in this situation. Thank you

I lost my drivers license because of vision loss. ( I have been a truck driver for over 30 years) I have since gotten a bit of my vision back and meet the standards for my car license. I was told that I will never qualify to drive a truck again. I ask my employer for a job in the plant because I can’t drive a truck again they will not give me work. So can I be cut off because I can drive a car now?

I am been on disability and One of the reasons that contributed to my depression and anxiety and PTSD was due to the harassment at work. However, my depression and anxiety after two years was not just Situational and turned into General to total disability hence I am on LTD. At that time I was too afraid to file a complaint and was afraid of losing my job if I told anyone as the harasser was a supervisor at work. Also I was in too much pain even to have the energy to do anything about it. Is there a time limitation in Ontario of filing a complaint against the employer ? Also the supervisor who harassed is no longer working for the company.
