I believe this is in reference to those that already received lump sum. What you refer to above is new claims going forward.

Thanks Brihard great info.

DEC means you are unable to make 66.6% of your prerelease salary. So if you are employed and making that or more you would be denied. You need to be on LTD as that indicates you are permanently disabled/unable to work.

It will be 90% not 95%. Did you apply for the earnings loss benefit through VAC?

Just to add if your someone that struggles with saving money for the future there's an app for that. Mylo rounds up all your transactions and puts that money into investments/savings/TFSA/RRSP you can choose what you want, level of risk, and goals. You do have a portfolio manager and it only...

Yes. Your rating has no bearing on the criteria for CIA and DEC.

I'm wondering as a solution for those receiving under $50 or even under $100 a month if VAC would pay that amount either every 6 months or once a year as a lump? So if you got $10 a month VAC could just give you $120 at the beginning of the year. They can't provide lump sums to those that...

Did they give you one amount or a range?

They have sent cheques to people for 1 cent so it's not to surprising that they give people $20 a month.

If only people read what was on VACs site where it said monthly. I get some misinformed VAC employees lead some astray but there was never any mention of a lump sum for those that already received a DA in writing.

If you haven't seen Bird box might not make much sense.

So the one benefit that is the simplest is the one there going to call people about? I have a feeling most are going to be like ya that's great but what about the pension part?

The day I posted that it was taken down and brought back the next day.

Expect monthly only. If there's a change that allows lump sum then all the better. Most of the evidence including what's written on VACs site has only said monthly. There has been nothing nowhere saying a choice except for new claims going forward and probably some misinformed VAC employees.

You may qualify for EIA instead as this falls under the pension act. http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/after-injury/disability-benefits/exceptional-incapacity-allowance

From what I've heard those that are red zoned are usually dealt with fairly quickly. Way faster then if you went through the regular process. Only issue I see is the holidays might cause a few extra days of delay for you.

Do you have a MyVAC account? If not sign up for it.  You can track applications in it and communicate with VAC and set up direct deposit. A lot of claims going to VAC seem to be  8-12 months for a decision depending on the complexity of your claim.

I still find it odd how he managed to get in a nursing program with his record. Not exactly sure how things work in Alberta but my wife is in a nursing program and is required to have a vulnerable persons check done every 6 months. I find it odd how his big plans were to go into this nursing...

You can definitely fight on the grounds of medical limitations. The time remaining is the part that could be problematic. I'm not sure but I think you need to get CIA before you can get the supplement. So if they still don't give you CIA due to the time requirement then that will squash the...

Steve, the CIA is based off of how limiting your conditions are on your daily life. So if the above hampers your ability to do daily things and those conditions are connected to your VAC claims then it shouldn't be a far reach for CIA. Did VAC say why you were denied CIA in the denial letter...
