Hello.

I have couple of questions about CPP Disability.

1. How often CPPD office checks your medicals and asks for updates while you are receiving CPP Disability payments?

2. Can you live abroad while receiving CPP Disability?

1. No idea. My guess is they don’t check.
2. I don’t know if CPP-D cares. LTD usually cares.
