Add Comment Question: I was on LTD and could not go back to my job so I took an early retirement at a loss and the insurance company is topping up the difference . They are now asking me to apply for CPPD. I am 61 with RA and have worked over 40 years what is my likelihood of being approved for CPPD Answer: In order to be approved for CPPD, you would need to show evidence that you suffer a "severe and prolonged" disability from working. You can see the definitions of these terms on their website. That said, I would need to speak with you and see your medical file to give you a proper opinion on your chances of approval.
