One new thing I noticed in My VAC Account as of today 14 June 2022 is a newly revamp look for Step 3 Decision Making step. They added in a new look sub-sections of Step 3 showing where exactly and what your application is doing during Step 3. See figure below.

Exactly part of my point. In my case, I am just fed up with having to ask for time off from my civilian job aka LOA (Leave of Absence) every year or so to go on a 2 or 3 month Air Force Class B contract. It's just a complete pain having to go through all the hoops of doing yet another LOA. That...

Another major change that they need to do with some of us Class A Reservists and I can only speak for myself in this unique situation. Seeing that some of us Class A Reservists work more than one job, they need to make things easier and "normal" so that Reservists like myself who work multiple...

Thanks for the info. The Decision Letter says Full Entitlement five-fifths.

Just a general question. Anyone know off hand how much the lump sum would be for a Favourable Tinnitus Appeal Entitlement Review for five-fifths? That would be the highest wouldn't it?

Well, all I can tell you is my example. I just requested a review on my condition and they advised me they will contact me in 3 or 4 months so basically nothing is going to get started until March 2022 timeframe. The nice thing about Reviews and Reassessments is they tend to get Completed faster...

I can shed some light on this as I went through it last year and I know a relative who is currently going through it and to make a long story short....the original short wait is a lot longer now unfortunately. You normally would have to only wait a month, but now the wait is 2 and a half months...

Thanks for the helpful advice. I appreciate it.

I have a question about MEL's and employability. I don't want to get too in-depth, but would like some insight in basic terms or whatever guidance someone can provide me. If I go ahead with a VAC claim for Adjustment Disorder / Anxiety as a Class A Reservist can I still be employable? I fully...

I have a general, but important question that I am hoping someone could shed some light on. I am a Reservist and would submitting a VAC claim for an OSI negitively impact my remaining 7 years in the Reserve Force, as in would I be able to continue to serve my remaining 7 years? I have a valid...

For Wait times and claim processing it seems there's no medium, but I do notice some claims for myself and my brother moving a LOT faster than say a couple years or so ago. He just had a Claim go to Complete in 16 weeks. That's including when he first submitted it back in March 2021.

Does anyone have any idea on how much of a Lump Sum amount equates to for an Entitlement of five fifths for Tinnitus Review? I do know that is the highest of the fifths and was wondering out of curiosity how much approx estimate amount it would be if Decision is Favourable? What does five fifths...

Here is what VAC said when I emailed and asked about a status update on my file that's been sitting at Step 2 for quite a while with all the required documentation received..... "Please note that due a current backlog in all stages of application processes, there may be a considerable delay...

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know approx or an estimated amount one would receive for a favourable Knee claim?

Not bad at all there blaze87! I had to call VAC yesterday actually to light a fire under their ass again as my Claim was just sitting idle on Step 2 since 7 months. I'm talking 7 months since VAC received the Medical form from my Family Doctor. VAC told me they will try to rattle the claims...

RedGalaxy, You won't be waiting much longer. You should receive your Decision Letter electronically in your My VAC Account within a week if I was a bettin' man. You will also receive it in hard copy form by mail at a later date, shortly after that. You get it first electronically. Also, in case...

Affirmative. VAC will email you via My VAC Account when your lump sum payment has been processed. On my email from VAC they told me I would receive the deposit in 2 weeks, but I had mine just 2 days after which was surprising for sure lol.

6 business days. 8 days total.

8 days for me. Overall, from the time I requested the Election for Lump Sum form to the time the lump sum amount was deposited in my account was fairly fast, as just a little over 2 weeks! That's considering and taking into affect that they will officially tell you it could take up to 6 weeks to...

Believe me, it won't take 6 weeks. VAC is processing the Lump Sum payment forms faster these days. I submitted mine on a date back in February and I had my Lump Sum deposit 5 days later.
