if you are approved for both ltd and cpp disability payments, insurance companies typically deduct cpp disability payments from the total they pay out. it’s also important to know that taking cpp disability funds
will not reduce the amount of cpp you will receive at age 65.
to apply for both ltd and cpp, you need proof
to apply for ltd and cpp for disability benefits, you must provide medical evidence from your doctor proving your disability. and while the cpp disability program has stricter eligibility requirements than most ltd insurance plans, once approved, cpp is less likely to terminate your benefits than your ltd insurance provider.
at the same time, a ltd provider is less likely to terminate ltd benefits based on a claim that you are able to work if you have already met cpp requirements and cpp has ruled that your disability qualifies you for cpp payments. and if your ltd payments are terminated before you are fully able to work, you can at least continue to receive cpp (once approved) while possibly filing a lawsuit or appeal against your insurance company.
have you been denied cpp disability benefits?
cpp disability benefit claims are often denied simply due to a lack of supporting medical documentation, or unfortunately, because the decision makers are not medical professionals and do not fully understand and comprehend how an individuals’ disability prevents them from working. these cases highlight the importance of clearly explaining the impact your disability has on your ability to produce an income — something an expert can help with.
