“If I hadn’t chalked it all up to stress and fatigue, I would’ve caught this sooner,” her post reads.

The 30-year-old urged her Instagram followers to pay close attention to their own health.

Disability Benefits for Graves’ Disease in Canada

Autoimmune disorders, such as Graves’ disease, can have a profound impact on an individual’s ability to perform their job duties — even with appropriate treatment.

For Canadians who can’t work due to this debilitating condition, short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) benefits can provide a crucial financial lifeline.

How These Benefits Help

  • STD: Provides temporary financial support for individuals unable to perform their job duties.
  • LTD: Offers income replacement for individuals unable to return to work for an extended period of time.

To qualify for STD or LTD benefits, medical documentation is essential to demonstrate how your condition prevents you from working.

Sadly, insurance companies often deny legitimate LTD claims — including in cases involving Graves’ disease — adding unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation.
