When Should I Stop Working To Qualify For Disability Benefits

When Should I Stop Working To Qualify For Disability Benefits

When should I stop working to qualify for disability benefits? How sick do I have to be?

The definition in most policies is that you are no longer able to do your job. It could be due to mental health reasons or physical limitations and not necessarily due to a typically recognized serious illness.

You may be entitled to short term disability benefits at the start, or perhaps EI. However, if the disability persists over time, your long term disability benefits come into play.

Be sure you know your rights during this difficult time and contact our disability lawyers. You do not have to do this alone
