Hi porqupine,

I've been on long term disability since 2005. I was diagnosed in /04, but still had some time on unemployment. I applied in October /04 and was approved in March of the next year. As for how much, it depends on a lot of things. I'm in NB, so things might be different here than where you are. I had to fill out a form and so did my doctor.

I can still work while on it too. I can make a certain amount of money before I have to call CPP and report the earnings.

Hope this helps. Good luck and keep us posted.

Like Cindy says - it's the same in Alberta. It also depends how much you were earning before you applied. Good news you are cured when you reach 65 cos disability stops. (you get the OAS then) (couldn't find emoticon for sarcasm!!!!!!) Christine :)
