Here are answers to questions often asked by those receiving Canada Pension Plan disability benefits. I want to try going back to work but am not sure my medical condition will let me. Those who can do or are doing some type of paid work on a regular basis are not entitled to benefits. Under Canada Pension Plan legislation, Canada Pension Plan must make sure that benefits are paid only to people who qualify.
Some medical conditions improve, allowing people to do some type of work.
In some other cases, people may find work even though their disability remains the same. Canada Pension Plan legislation requires that you report any changes in your condition that affect your ability to work. Reporting a change in your condition will not necessarily mean that your benefits will be cut off. However, Canada Pension Plan will review this new information to ensure your continued eligibility for benefits and inform you of its decision. When you applied for disability benefits, you agreed to let Canada Pension Plan know about these changes.
