Is UI Sickness Benefit an Offset to LTD?

Im being given a ROE and told to apply for UI. Will this not be offset from any LTD Benefit?: Not fair since I’ve paid into both and may need these UI funds if cut off LTD.
Thanks kindly for any replies.

I am not sure if anyone knows the answer. Most people take their EI sickness benefits before the LTD kicks in so this situation is not very common. As a general answer though the things that can be offset are listed in the individual LTD policy and can be different for different policies.

Thanks for your reply, Caro.

Mine deducts any government income (I forget the wording) so I think EI Sickness would be deducted.
I’ve never heard of anyone taking it after they get LTD.
