    VAC Benefit Question - purchase ATV ?

    Correct, You can get the VIP benefits, and they do not care how you spend it. ATV with a plow, Snow removal company, Giant Flamethrower, they do not care.

    DEC and CIA

    It was explained to me that you also have to be involved in a Rehab program, Which is a hurdle for you from what I can see. You have to be enrolled in a Rehab program that addresses one or more of the medical concerns. In my case, I am under it for PTSD which is why the lowest grade was...

    April 2017 Top Up Payments Incorrect

    They are sending me the worksheet. So I would be able to share. I had a reassess, that was awarded a few weeks before that they think is screwing it up. But not screwing its up.

    So I had a long phone call yesterday about my issues from another post in here. Basically, what she told me. They aren’t even going to start working on the files until April, so don’t expect anything in April. I was blown away by this, as I have a meeting next week to go over my file with...

    VAC Error

    Alright So heres the story, In 2016, I was provided with CIA due to one condition, meeting the Severe and Permanent Category. I was granted Grade 3, Due to Time in, etc. Fast forward to 2017/2018, I have another condition, that existed at the same time, however, trying to get into the...

    April 2017 Top Up Payments Incorrect

    I called in and noticed the difference after seeing this post, The member on the other side of the phone was damn clueless about it. Absolutely lost, I mean, he had no clue what I was talking about. At ALL. Mindblowing, or the fact it was 430 and he just didnt give a rats ass, which doesnt...

    VAC Return to Lifetime Pensions Discussion

    Yes, but I think the skepticism comes from the small print they posted later stating "maximum lump sum is the amount of the day this policy comes into effect" or along those lines. ITs going to be a three tier system. They are smart if they offer a limited or decreased lump sum amount. Gotta...

    VAC Return to Lifetime Pensions Discussion

    I would expect something along this line, except maybe not as harsh. Id say they would take at least a 15% cut on it, I am in the same boat, where I was set to 110% in 2016, and expecting possibly 317k, but only $572 a month. To be honest, I would even take the 15% on that.....as opposed to the...

    Exactly, what did the lump sum workout too? 43000? To be honest, Id even take a 10% hit on it to get paid out the $330 000 then receive the monthly.

    VAC Return to Lifetime Pensions Discussion

    It's a cop out. If someone takes a monthly, more money in their pocket. If someone takes the full lump sum. Then that's huge. For me it's 300 and change (110%, and I get CIA) I work, I have to. I have twins. And a mortgage. And life. I'd take the lump sum in a second and invest into my...

    VAC wait times

    I Find the ombudsman, cant really do anything worthwhile, except complain, They can write up these reports etc, but unless someone is there to enforce their requirements, then its kind of another entity that says, "the system is broken, do this"

    Don't get me wrong. I am too. It's a total life changer to hopefully recieve it. I just have a hard time believing the current government. They would push for the lump sum, it probably has some strings attached like that's it's amd that's all, you won't get future adjustments for interest...
