    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Are you expecting a large amount? (Obviously don't need to answer) But the title of my letter was something along the lines of "Lump sum payment of less than 18000$" So maybe there is a separate letter that will go out later if its for a higher payment.

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Got my letter from VAC in my online VAC account stating the amount I would be getting. Unfortunately, it is Option A (first one). So the indexed amount minus the amount you actually received.

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    I'm still confused, in my case I was at 10% disability in 2015 where I received 30 669.82$ (B) and the 100% was 306 698.20$. So now that the new award has been adjusted, the 2015 100% value is 350 128.13 with 10% being 35 012.81$ (A). So is my award top up going to be A-B = 4 342.99$ OR: New...

    CF moving to Multicam?

    I saw the briefing note produced by DLR with intent for the CCA stating pros and cons. In the end it stated that it would cost a significant amount of money to make the switch. But even more problematic is that only one company in Canada owns the rights to MultiCam. Multicam as a whole being a...

    Canadian Armed Forces in video games (or the lack thereof)

    Didn't know this thread existed or I would have posted sooner: In the new Ghost Recon game "Wildlands" (which is kind of a mix of GTA and a FPS) you can customize your character (uniform, chest rig, Frag vest, even backpack!) in CADPAT TW and CADPAT AR. And its not like Rainbow Six Vegas where...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Unfortunately, they aren't very constant in their responses, this is what I got: "Thank you for using MY VAC account and our secure e-mail services. At this time we do not have information on when the reassessed awards or how they will be issued. Please check back with us closer to April...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Thanks for the link. I suppose a big problem, if they were to go back to pensions, is to figure out how do they start compensating those who got a lump sum. Do they A: Take the money back and then put them on a pensions, B: Not give them a pension for several years until they make up for the...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Does anyone on here know how the disability pension used to work? Was it kind of like today? As in 100% disability was a fixed priced per year and then everyone would receive a monthly amount depending on how much of a percentage of loss they were assessed? Did the pension have a problems? Why...

    The disability award "top up".....not until 2017?

    Unless I missed it, they still haven't mentioned whether or not they are bringing back the pensions for those who received a one time disibility award correct? Even though it was in the Liberals promises.

    Retro Pay & Allow 1Apr 2014 - 1Apr 2017

    http://ottawacitizen.com/news/politics/pipsc-union-and-federal-government-close-in-on-deal If this goes through for us as well, 1.25% seems rather low compared to the increases we had last time: 1.75% for 2011-2012, 1.50% for 2012-2013, and 2.00% for 2013-2014. Better than nothing I suppose. I...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Ok, thanks for that, I'm not that familiar with the military law system, but regardless (trying to stay in my lane here) he was not found guilty of sexual assault if the charge was stayed, if I understand it correctly?

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Careful, the court found him not guilty of sexual assault, but I wasn't there. Seems that most of the court martials I've read all of them had the sexual assault charge dropped but got charged with acting in a disgraceful manner.

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    I'm curious if the numbers of sexual assault or harassment are higher amongst NCMs than Officers. I myself am an officer and all of my female friends (also officers) have reported they have never seen or heard about such things or if they happened to them.

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I saw this today and I know that it is illegal to wear Honours (medals) that a person did not earn themselves. So I am curious from the experts here, are you allowed to wear honours that you did not earn on the right side? My initial thoughts would be no, but for re-enactments such as this case?

    Military Discounts List

    I've heard a few times that as military/gov't workers Rogers offers a 30% discount on all plans, even our personal ones. Yet I tried calling to apply, and they responded with something along the lines of "Talk to your HR representative and they will give you some sort of access code and you...
