Good Day All,     I have been looking for the answer to the question, but can't seem to find it. Is there any consequences if a person fails one course while enrolled into a program that is sponsored by Manulife? No issues with the program, just have to re-register for the same course. Thanks...

I have a beautiful daughter that has special needs. I simply got tired of fighting and trying to balance both worlds, not having the support of my CoC made the decision clear to me. My daughter was hospitalized three times and almost lost her life twice within a year, not once did that CoC had...

After 20 years, my military career had came to an end last month due to an injury(s) I had been fighting for several years. I could of been release many years ago, but my pride got in the way. My decision to stop hiding came very clear to me after realizing during my last year or so. What I...

Brihard,   You are right, not everyone is medically release. Honestly, I wasn't even thinking that! It was not meant to be a rant, Just wondering if there was such a program that take care of all that besides school. I am still serving but will be 3B releasing in two months, I will be taking...

Is your program completely 100% online? I could see the ETB working in this case which is awesome! But what about if the program was full time at a secondary school, such as College, university, etc?

just wondering, maybe someone could share some light on this.  if a veteran was to get accepted for the ETB, if he or she currently have a mortgage, how are they able to maintain mortgage payments, bills etc while attending school on a full time basis? Are they expected to have a job while...

Menion, Thanking for letting me know about what you was told. I agree with you, it is so sad that people are being lied to. What purpose does it serve? Do they not realize it will only reflect on them?

I recently sat in a scan seminar, a lady from VAC gave a good detailed speech about the programs offered form VAC. She did mention that, there are some stipulations you must take into consideration when applying for the ETB. She had indicated that if you are on the rehab program thru VAC then...

As someone had mention before, according to one of the VAC Reprasentive, it does take up to 6 six to receive a lump sum payment. Also, for a new assessment/ new condition, the wait time apparently is 45 weeks. Apparently they are working on initial assessments from April 2017. I understand they...

The Correspondence I received today as of 1415, VAC is working on May 2018 claims for reassessments. I asked the VAC representive if the Wait times are accurate, according to the VAC representive they are. I asked her how they are getting the time lines if they are working on May 2018 files. "No...

For Reassessments, I was told by VAC today via phone, they are working on April 2018, apparently the VAC site indicates the reassessments are at 15 weeks!!

Blackladder,     Interesting reply! Thanks for the insight. Working with several Physicians, who also "moonlight"/ work in the ER of several civilian hospitals, they often tell us that regular civilian Physicians love seeing military members in the ER (after regular work hours of the military...

I submitted a claim in Feb 2019, three weeks later, it is at stage 3! The only thing I did was that supplied my own medical information ( I asked Med Records for copies) with the application . However, saying that, I have another application at stage 3 at 50 weeks now.

Recently I attended my specialist appointment and we was discussing waiting times. The specialist informed me that DND pays the same price as Medicare does for Dr’s Appointments. What I didn’t realize till now was that the Dr’s was being paid a lot more than normal to see Military Members. This...

Yup, you are right, CO's does the right to know how much time away work, but over riding a medical officer with excused duties seems to be a bit to far. I see this different. I am pretty sure that there was a CANFORGEN indicating that orders given by a MO's are to be followed (regarding Medical...

From what I know, I can't be 100% certain on why all 8 medics had leave (excused duties, sick leave) given to them, but it is really something to ponder about. What is true, but is sad,  Medics become friends with Nurses, MO's, and etc, the same way friends are made in different units. This just...

I applaud the members who remain or did the full time!! I can't imagine the amount of crap they must of went through. However, I only been in for 20 years and the one thing I could say is how the military has changed, or maybe the generation of people has changed the military. 15 years ago, it...

A story to share.... Over the pass couple of days, I have heard several members indicate that they was on stress leave, from what I know and read in the regs, there is no stress leave. Honestly, from my experience, I hear this the most from Health Services personnel. At one point, in my previous...

Well, I am serving my last 5 months of the CAF after a 20 year career. The past year or so has been nothing but anxiety, emotions and full of uncertainty. The biggest struggle was getting the support from my previous Chain of Command. They made me felt I was useless, unable to look after my...

Late Saturday night/ Sunday Morning past I received an email from VAC indicating that one of my claims status had changed. Sunday afternoon, I checked my vac account to see, just to find out that nothing had changed. The only thing I noticed was a link leading into a vac wait times. Depending on...
