Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
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.

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.
