*FEATURED ON THIS EPISODE... *

🔹01:23 - The Week That Was: A client in British Columbia has been having issues with his LTD insurer and his employment. He hired 2 separate firms to handle each matter. Can using different law firms impact the progression or outcome of his claim?

📞 04:55 - Phone Call from the Disability Law Show - I am deemed an essential worker, doing deliveries. My employer has implemented no contact, but I have underlying health issues. One of those issues my employer is aware of. Based on my weakened immune system, would the insurance company pay me disability? I am concerned also that during this time the insurance company is going to be more cut-throat and would just decline your payment. Do you foresee something like that?

📞 21:05 - Phone Call from the Disability Law Show - I’ve been on long term disability for over a year and my insurer told me to apply for CPP Disability, which I did. I got rejected from them and now my adjuster is saying that my benefits will end in June. I don’t understand. My doctors confirmed that I’m still not ready to go back to work. What can I do? I need the money for my family and can’t go back to work.

📧 25:19 - Email from [email protected] - I’ve been suffering from arthritis for over 10 years and it’s gotten progressively worse. I’ve worked as a chef in one of the top restaurants in the city for over 30 years and I have private long-term disability insurance that I purchased years ago and have been paying for ever since. Since the pandemic started, I’ve had a lot of anxiety and my doctor says I have depression. He referred me to a psychologist and after one session that psychologist confirmed that I can’t work because of my depression. My arthritis is also pretty bad, and my rheumatologist also said that I can’t work because of my arthritis. I’m thinking that I should apply for long-term disability but I’m afraid I’ll get declined. Should I even bother applying?
