Addiction – What is it?

As per Canadian Law, substance abuse is classified as a disability. The Ontario Human Rights Commission states that all forms of drug overuse, alcohol addiction or illicit drugs are all part of substance abuse. No one can legally discriminate on these grounds.

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health reports that 20 percent of all Canadians have or will face an addiction problem. Ontario alone has addiction rates that are 1.5 times more than that of cancer. An affected person’s life can be cut short by 10-20 years.

Any addiction is recognized as an illness. When you are applying for a long-term disability originating from an addiction, refer to the specific provisions of the insurance policy. In a conventional group insurance policy, an addiction is an acceptable disabling condition. You will need to be compliant with the medical treatment and procedures recommended to participate in relevant drug or alcohol treatment programs.

If you have faced a denial of a long-term disability claim due to addiction, don’t be discouraged. Many people face rejections from their employer’s group disability policy or a private policy when they apply for alcohol, drug or gambling addictions.

In such circumstance, it is important to provide complete medical documentation, supporting evidence, doctor’s diagnosis of how the symptoms are affecting daily activities at home and work. Claim timelines should be followed to make sure the application is accepted for processing.
