has anyone reported mpi to cra? they collect tax and cpp from my iri but do not contribute those funds to my cra and cpp accounts and do not issue a T4A for disability income. i called cra and was surprised to learn that if mpi collects it and calls it tax, cpp, and employment insurance they are supposed to apply to your accounts. that was the thoughts of the person i spoke to. have forms coming to file a complaint. i also will be filing a phia and fippa complaints for sharing my personal and medical information. not my fault they do not read their own consent to share forms. i either cross off the portions that give consent to share with either a outside provider or internal departments, and always write in the doctor or places name so it is not an open consent for mpi to do what they want, as well as change the time it is valid for from two years to six months. you are only required to let mpi collect your information.by doing this the only persons who are allowed to look at you information is your case manager and the clerk who files it. any other ways to fight would be appreciated.

Howard,

MPI is a provincial Gov't bureaucratic crown corporation. Therefore, all Manitobans paying so-called premiums/insurance rates is actually paying a provincial TAX. Everyone paying this, should be claiming it on their provincial tax form at income tax time. Those funds are used within the province for infrastructure, roads and bridges etc., just as your property taxes are used for municipal costs for local infrastructure. Buyer beware - those funds pay for lots within the province, but beware if you have to make a claim, especially for medical rehabilitation and/or lifelong injuries. No lawsuit allowed and unless a person is rich, they won't get legal representation. It's a lot of fun (sarcasm) purchasing the legislation and regulations to learn it, and use it against MPI.

Ryan,

I'm not sure how it works for minors, as the minor probably wasn't "working" and/or making an income. However, in Ontario there is a "Disability" fund that all people can apply for, and if qualified under their terms of disability, would receive some sort of monthly funding. For minors, that would usually cover costs associated with their disability. As for a brain injury caused by a MVA, MPI should be covering all Rehab costs such as physiotherapy, Occupational therapy (which assists in learning ways to deal with memory losses,etc.) and MPI HAS to cover all costs needed for rehab equipment that the person needs in getting as close to their previous life prior to the accident. That means everything associated to the accident.

I too am disgusted with MPIC. Canada has an Insurance Act which governs management of these companies however MPIC does not fall under this governance as a “Public Utility”. Manitobans deserve the use of a real Insurance provider and protection of our Federal Insurance Act!

MPIC works against it’s customers, uses excess reserves to finance political whims and screws Manitoba insureds every chance it gets.

Mary Ann Hello Mary Ann, does your daughter receive any income replacement at the IWA?

My son was a minor and suffered a mild traumatic brain injury, it has affected his memory and cognitive abilities dramatically. Does MPI award any income replacement benefits? Or does anyone know his entitlements?

I am looking for a truly independent appraiser to fight MPI on my claim . Someone who has NO connection to Autopac in anyway

Oh I forgot to mention it was a vehicle roll over on highway.

What entitlements do injured minors get? He has a Traumatic brain injury.
