Chair – Tom O’Brien

As of April 30, 2013:

• LTD under 2 years:         11
• LTD over 2 years:            15

I usually have little to say for the LTD report, but since the last meeting we have had one interesting inquiry into how benefits are covered after the 2 year term.  BC Assessment group benefits are much less expensive than paying as an individual and covers things like medical, dental and prescriptions.  After two years on LTD and individual has been told that they can no longer pay their premiums and stay on the group benefits program, even though they may be coming back to work eventually.
