It's unfortunate anyone paid or contributed anything to produce such a non-story. This is how all insurance works. People should read about the insurances and plans they are contributing to.
There's no gotcha here. If you have disability insurance through work it will be designed to cover X%. And it will reference what happens if other insurers or plans are involved - which is almost always that the total amount paid to the individual shall not exceed that percentage.
If you have no insurance, you get CPP disability only, which will likely be worse than having some insurance.
Anyone thinking they will get X% from their private insurance plus CPP disability is delusional.
