Add Comment Question: I have a question: I am currently on disability with work safe BC. I have been diagnosed with PTSD from my doctor and worksafe has recognized and accepted my claim. I am 63 years old. I worked for the BC government. I have been told that I no longer qualify for my extended health and dental for my wife and myself. If I desire these previous benifits, I must pay fof them on my own. Is this fair and legal? Thank you for your time. Dean Coles Answer: Thank you for your question. Yes, generally speaking, if you are on an extended disability leave your employer may eventually discontinue your health and dental benefits.
