In order to receive CPP or QPP disability benefits, you generally must have paid into the CPP or QPP for at least four of the six years leading up to the point at which you became disabled. Your disability must be severe, which means it prevents you from doing not only your former job but also any job on a regular basis, in order to qualify. The disability must also be prolonged, meaning it's expected to last at least a year or be likely to result in death. CPP/QPP disability payments are quite low because they're intended to provide only for the basic, subsistence-level living expenses. [2019] - Eric Tyson

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is usually not seen during sleep, but rather in the transitional periods between sleep and wakefulness. Most dentists treat bruxism with mouth guards--a physical barrier between one molar and its mate. Very occasionally medications are used.

A living trust places your portfolio in the hands of an independent manager, usually a trust company, with family members as co-trustees. The trust receives your investment portfolio and the trustees manage it such that you receive a stable income for life, similar to an annuity. The remaining capital is distributed to family members on your death. The provision of the trust agreement should provide instructions for the financing of your care should you require long-term medical attention. The main requirement for trustees is that they be competent, independent parties who will manage your affairs in your best interest. [2020] - Douglas Gray
