Hello, I am currently on LTD and have been for about 3 years. I'm 59 years old now and LTD will have to pay me until I reach 65. I would like to know if there is a way to actually go to manulife with representation like you, and ask them for a settlement instead of getting monthly payment? Thank you.

I am on LTD from a Federally regulated employer. I get my LTD from one insurer and my benefits such as Dental, medical are covered by another provider. The Benefits provider also has coverage for medical/ sickness time off. Just wondering can a company have two different providers. I am only getting LTD by one insurer, Are there any other entitlements I am eligible for?

I have recently been placed on long term disability. I was diagnosed three years ago with Generalized Anxiety Order as well as OCD. I received my diagnosis from a Psychiatrist, whom I was referred to by my Family Doctor. During the last three years I have managed it with the help from my Doctor and my Therapist. Due to a very stressful situation in my workplace, I was placed on short term disability, and now long term. My insurance company has asked that I see one of their Psychiatrists, which may involve a new treatment plan. I am very uncomfortable and anxious about their request. My question is, am I required to follow their requests? I feel that my Doctor and Therapist have been very helpful in treating my disorder.
