Understanding these issues early can help strengthen a claim and protect your rights. If you are applying for LTD benefits or facing a denial, being proactive can make a significant difference.

The article explores key issues including restructuring, business closures, the duty to accommodate, frustration of contract, and what happens to disability benefits after employment ends.

If you've been terminated while on disability leave, understanding your rights and the protections available under employment and human rights law is essential.
