Although many of us hope to be able to work until at least age 65, often times, injury or illness can hinder our plans. If you are not able to work at all or are unable to work at your previous capacity and have insurance, you may be eligible for disability benefits. If you do not have insurance but have contributed to the Canada Pension Plan, then you may be eligible for Canada Pension Plan disability benefits. Vincent Genova and Christina Barbato are experienced lawyers in disability law. We understand the difficulty, both mentally and financially, associated with being disabled and denied benefits from insurance, which you paid for and are rightfully entitled to.
