Definition of Disability: What is Long-Term Disability in Canada?
In Canada, you are considered to be suffering from long-term disability if, for a specified period of time (usually the first 2 years or more of a claim), you can’t be able to do essential duties in your own occupation which you are reasonably suited to do through training, education or experience.
Long-term disability also covers a variety of medical conditions ranging from mental health issues to physical injuries.
The definition of long-term disability changes to any occupation when 2 years after a claim, you can’t be able to perform duties of any job for which you are qualified based on your training, education, or experience.
We can help you navigate the difficulties of your case and get rightful disability insurance benefits. Book a long-term disability consultation NOW!
The main factors leading to long-term disability include pain, immobility and agility-related issues.
A third party can be responsible for directly/indirectly causing you pain, flexibility, or mobility issues that hinder your ability to work. They could also be directly or indirectly responsible for compromising your vision, hearing, memory, etc.
We can help you understand how the applicable long-term disability insurance policy defines your condition, if you qualify, help you launch a disability claim, and even assist you in challenging a claim that has been declined by an insurance company. To Start this process CONTACT US NOW!
Factors Dictating Long-Term Disability in Canada
There are many factors dictating how long-term disability cases are handled in Canada. The most notable include:
Inability to work: This is arguably the most important factor in any long-term disability case. You must be able to show how an injury or related occurrence (physical or mental condition) has made you unable to work.
Medical evidence: Personal injury cases involving long-term disability must also be backed by comprehensive medical documentation sourced from a qualified healthcare professional/s.
Long-term disability insurance policy definition: The definition of long-term disability can vary depending on the underlying terms of the policy in place. You need legal experts to interpret the policy definitions accurately and advise on the best way forward.

Short-term Disability vs. Long-term Disability Claims
As the name suggests, short-term disability insurance claims are launched by persons seeking disability benefits for a short period (usually up to 6 months) when they are injured or sick. Short-term disability benefits are supposed to assist when one can’t work/earn during their recovery period.
However, if a person still can’t work at the end of the period, they can qualify for long-term disability benefits. The eligibility requirements will range based on factors like:
The nature of the long-term disability policies/policy
The “own occupation” or “any occupation” test i.e., if you can’t be able to do your job or any other job based on your training, education, and experience. Other factors like responsibility and compensation level linked to an alternative occupation vs previous position held are also considered.
Main Issues with long-term disability claims in Toronto
Long-term disability claims are faced by common problems. Disability claim denial is usually common because of;
Lack of sufficient medical examination documents proving disability
Exclusion in disability policy i.e., a pre-existing condition that isn’t covered by the policy in play
Changes in a person’s functional or medical status i.e., you no longer qualify as disabled resulting in denial of future benefits
Changes in test allowing entitlement from own occupation to any occupation i.e., you can be able to do a different job
Since it is common practice for many disability insurers to reject long term disability claims based on small/common reasons or technicalities, we suggest you seek legal advice from experienced personal injury lawyers like us.
