The above has always been my understanding of the benefits. Although not very clear it's also written the same on VACs Q&A page. The examples on the Q&A page of vets receiving 20% 40% and 100% lump sums and then show what they receive for a monthly pension have been removed. Maybe VAC is making...

I'll have to check I know it mentions something about that in the Bill for the PFL so can't say just yet on what happens to appeals come April 1st.

You also need to be aware there is no lump sum for vets who have previously taken a lump sum. This is stated on there page in the Q &A however VAC did a poor job of separating vets who have received a lump sum versus vets putting a new claim in April 1st. If you already received a lump sum you...

They date it back to when you were originally paid for your claim.

As far as I know no such benefit actually exists  under VAC. Your case manager may have been talking about other organizations like Soldier On that can help assist you with outdoor rec activities. I still doubt any organization would provide an ATV. Your best bet is to get in touch with your...

But having less children fights climate change. :sarcasm

Since you have gone through the review process and aren't getting anywhere I suggest the Ombudsman.

Did it say why it denied you? Normally there's a quick explanation as to why. It is possible they just didn't see your DEC since the applications were so close together. If they denied on medical grounds then there is not an appeal. It is a review and you must ask for the review in writing...

Yes, they are the same. The PFL is the pain and suffering compensation given for life as a monthly payment or if one chooses a lump sum.

Can you point me to the language your referring too? This is how VAC calculated the top up. http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/help/faq/disability-award-increase#a04

Should note that this is non binding for the government. So they can easily walk away from doing this at any time.

I would appeal that decision. I went to role 3 and Landshtule and then hospital/rehab hospital for a few months but qualified and I'm 66%. Sounds like someone didn't understand your application very well.

Well this article should prove there's no big chunk of money coming. All of this PFL costs the government nothing and saves them money...

This thread covers a lot of questions about SAR. https://army.ca/forums/threads/199.500.html

You can try visiting 32 CER on Friday evening and seeing if the recruiter is there to talk too.

Your best bet is contacting Blue Cross to see if they cover it and if they do what's required to cover it.

Killing people is only one aspect of the CAF. Today the CAF is very diverse and performs many different functions including life savings ones. The majority of those functions come with dangers to your life or serious injury and you can be ordered to do it. You can refuse unsafe work in most...

I'd say RobA is right. It already states you get the choice of the $360k or the monthly amount for life. I don't see any extra lump sum coming to those who already received one just a possible monthly amount.

Yes, but notice how it says you will be awarded 4/5ths as a partial entitlement not the 1/5th and so on that use to be the case. A lot of people that I have spoken to that fell under this policy had 1/5th entitlement. So this is an increase. If it's a direct result of service you would get 5/5...
