The additional Pain and compensation benefit is the CIA. They will be eliminating the time servered criteria and will be based on the medical criteria that exists now. The benefit will also be tax free Grade 1 being $1500 Grade 2 $1000 and Grade 3 $500. Whatever your grade is now will be...

You will be back dated to date of application. If your approved you should see the money within a week or two. If you have my VAC Account you can view the payments there and the monthly deposits.

Sorry I meant the CIA supplement will no longer be available. DEC will still exist.

I know the answer is no but I can't exactly remember why but it has to do with technically receiving the full amount already.

I'm surprised that VAC has called and wants to go over everything with you in October with regards to the changes. First I've heard of VAC doing this.

Thanks Kratz.

I haven't been able to copy the post from FB but the NDI 75 is making a return and a CANFORGEN will be released shortly. There will be 3 different phases. But those with an upcoming release date will have there information submitted for it and anyone that has completed basic and released...

I assume you weren't getting topped up to 90% of pre release salary while on SISIP through VAC? If that's the case then you'll have better pay on the VAC side. As Brihard pointed out apply for DEC as this benefit will disappear come April. There will be more appointments and paperwork to fill...

It looks like Sisip is following this rule. https://www.sisip.com/en/insurance/long-term-disability/vocational-rehabilitation-program

What program are you under SISIP or VACs?

I received this e-mail from VAC today in response to concerns and confusion around having the CIA Supplement and grade levels once the PFL kicks in.

I have gone through the policy on ETB and I don't see it saying you can't be on ELB while getting the ETB. I do see it saying you can't get it when on CFIS ( Canadian Forces Income Support). Do you know where it says you can't as I may have missed it? A few bits of information for those on...

Your DEC decision should be rather quick. Mine was done within a week of my case manager having the paper work. That being said I've heard some decisions taking a lot longer. Once I applied for supplement it took a month to get approved just FYI for you.

Sorry, I meant reassessment for your CIA. For me I was bumped from grade 3 to 2 because of time served. But VAC is removing the time served piece from the policy so if I get reassessed I will be bumped back down to a grade 3. As for reassessment of injuries/illness if they keep getting worse...

It does but I had it explained that IRB amounts could change up or down with future goverments. Basically your supp and CIA are safe. What I worry about are any re assessments and a change in any criteria which then can cause a loss of benefit or lower grade. Just have to wait and see I guess.

Expect a wait of 3 to 7 months for approval but CIA and supp will both be approved at the same time for you. They will be protected but the CIA amount will change a bit as it will be tax free but your grade level will be protected.

Here is the notice of intent to change the Veterans Well Being Regulations. http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2018/2018-06-02/html/notice-avis-eng.html#nb1 This is also of importance at the end. Now for some bigger questions. For those who had CIA bumped up a grade due to amount of time...
