you can turn to VAC and the rehab program. They offer the same SISIP finacial benifits and are less demanding on getting a full disability. SISIP has started to pay less and less since the introduction of the VAC Rehab program. In fact only 3% go over the initial 2 years.
Bigrex said:grunt, what is your disability if you don't mind me asking, so that SISIP extended you? I was told by SISIP that i didn't meet their criteria for being completely disabled, I guess severe arthritis both knees, chronic lower back pain, arthritis in my neck, peripheral neuropathy, and major depressive disorder, having to walk with a cane, and will likely end up in a wheelchair before I'm 40. My doctor even stated that I would find it extremely difficult to hold any meaningful job with my restrictions, but that wasn't good enough for them. Maybe I should stop fighting it and just go into the chair and maybe they'd cover me then, but now I have to go and try to find a job that will accommodate my disabilities while giving me enough income that I and my family won't suffer.
You might also be interested that the class action certification hearing against SISIP went well, and the judge said that this case will proceed one way or other, we will receive his written decision in a few months, this will force SISIP from subtracting your VAC pension from your LTD payments, as income.
