Why would service Canada need information from my ltd insurance if they already have doctors reports
Are you referring to a specific form or request?
If it is the insurance company form to communicate with Service Canada then it might only be to work out the retro payment (so it goes directly to the insurance company).
Service Canada write me a letter saying that they need information from my
ins company. And that they gave them 30 days to reply. All my Drs reports
were sent accept for the chiro/ physio- acupuncture reports. But I gave
them all that information in a letter I write them
Do cpp usually write insurer for anything other than retro pay
I don’t know.
Did Service Canada say exactly what information they want?
If no, I would phone Service Canada.
I emailed my insurer to ask? I asked service Canada but the girl on the phoned said she didn’t know?
Service Canada asked so talk to someone else until you get an answer.
This is becoming more common for Service Canada to make these requests. I don’t believe there is any ill intent, they are just looking for more information to support / reject your claim. Certainly they don’t have any right to this information and I would advocate against allowing direct lines of communication between Service Canada and a LTD insurer, but many people will allow this for convenience sake. Otherwise you need to coordinate the exchange of any information between them and pay fees etc.

Hi David
What are they usually looking for? Would they ask for entire file?
Also I called service Canada and they said it was development information?
What does that mean?
Tks
Also where are you located?
NB but they do all of Canada:
They are looking for medical records and reports provided to the insurance company by your doctors or doctors the insurance company hired. The insurance company typically not send their entire file wiht all their own file notes etc. Not sure what they mean by development information but assume that is heir lingo for gathering information to assess your claim.

Does that mean that Service Canada don’t have enough information to make a
decision ?
As Allyoops noted, our headquarters is in New Brunswick but we handle CPP Disability cases nationwide. This is possible because CPP disability cases are 95% paperwork and the hearings can be held via videoconference or teleconference.
We have represented clients in every province and territory, except Quebec (which has a different system from CPPD), Nunavut and the Northwest Territories.

I take this to mean they are leaning towards approving your case, but can’t justify an approval based on the records currently in your claim file. This is why the seek out more information before making a decision because they want to see if there is information that would support an approval. This may or may not be true in your situation, but is my general sense of what may be going on.

They had most records I do believe except for physio/ chiro and acupuncture
treatments I had done. Neurosurgeon said my disc issue wasn’t bad enough
for surgery but left side was due to Myofascial pain as did the
Acupuncrurist. My family dr left before he saw their letters. He had discs
issues etc as my diagnosis and I told the neurosurgeon that my right wasn’t
as bad anymore. At the time it wasn’t as bad as my left. Not sure if that
will hurt me.
I am also getting Ltd . If I hire a lawyer how do you get paid?
