Re: long term benefits

Yes, in B.C. your LTD is attachable to pay child support. If your income will change because of receipt of Long Term Disability (not everyone's income does change significantly), you should make application to vary the child support order. If you can not afford a lawyer, you can apply for assistance through Legal Aid. There is a Legal Aid office in your community; the number and address are in the Telus phone book under "lawyers".
