Hello , if you are on LTD disability from work already and you encounter a slip and fall in a store and you get compensated, does it affect your amount you are getting from LTD .. does the amount get deducted from LTD ?

I have been on leave from my job for 16 months due to major depressive disorder and general anxiety. My benefits company has decided it's time for a rehabilitation program that includes work hardening and a gradual back to work plan on site. My doctor has advised against my returning on site at this time due to my increased anxiety and agoraphobia, and my employer says working from home during the gradual return is not an option. My benefits company has stated that if I don’t comply with the rehabilitation program as they’ve outlined, I will lose my benefits. This is causing me extreme distress because I know I’m not ready to go back to work, but I also can’t afford to lose my benefits. I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever be ready to go back to the particular job I’m on leave from due to the amount of stress it causes me, and I’ve been told there is no possibility of alternate employment with my current employer. I’ve been with the company since 2015 and this is my second leave. The first one was in 2018 for 3 months for the same condition. If my doctor agrees that quitting this job is in my best interest, would there be any repercussions, and would EI benefits be an option given the amount of time I’ve been on leave? Are there any other options I’m not aware of?
