Almost all PIPSC Members are entitled to disability benefits through their workplace disability plan. More information on your specific plan can be found here.
Members should proactively communicate with their doctor, employer, and benefits provider to ensure benefits are not denied due to late filing. It is important to respect the deadline to file, which is generally within a few weeks of, in the opinion of your doctor, you becoming unable to work due to your health.
Members are urged to keep their employer and benefits provider informed of their intention to file a claim - even when paperwork is still coming together.
Members with a denied claim or who are unable to obtain information from their employer can contact pensionsbenefits@pipsc.ca for support.
