Dysthymic disorder, alcohol abuse, and major depressive disorder are considered psychiatric disorders. As such, they are assessed under the four tables appearing in Chapter 21 of the Table of Disabilities...

OGBD, I almost jumped on your use of "deported", until I hauled out the thesaurus. It may also mean "comported", so well played.

The 10% minimum is an initial assessment. Depending on your symptoms and the doctor's report, you "could" see your assessment increase. Without knowing the particulars of your case, it is not for us to say. Have you phoned the Department for an update on your case? Don't hesitate to engage the...

Sorry guys, been super busy of late. and Hope that's of some help. It's not my area of expertise, so I'm quoting current (to 01 Apr 15) policy docs.

Since I can't get into specifics for your situation (and not knowing it completely either), it wouldn't hurt to check with the Department, or with your Case Manager. [/list]

Oh I didn't forget, I just didn't want to go there. That opens a whole other can of worms. There are also all the benefits, including CIB, currently under the NVC which are not available under the Pension Act. How far back - or forward - does a new benefit system go? Lots of questions.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/veterans-affairs-canada-charlottetown-jobs-announced-1.3158102 With the hiring of a Case Manager psn at the Charlottetown head office, the district office has essentially been reopened...just shy of an actual physical space, anyway, at this time.

ICYMI, you can use a pen to start a LUVW...some traditions can be passed on ;)

One grey area is if monthly pensions are reinstated for all, including those who have received a lump-sum payment, those who have received the latter could find themselves in an overpayment situation. The reinstatement is a bit of a headache, but as I've written about before, the monthly...

Hi folks, New OC at the unit, and he was DS on AOC, plus Staff College. In a recent set of orders for a Sqn shake-out ex, his Scheme of Manoeuver was a single paragraph. Me being an eager Battle Captain, and having to rewrite a portion of the orders because of last minute changes all over the...

What Teager said :) Nothing more for me to add.

The Department (i.e., first level adjudicators) have changed some procedures in the last while, in light of..."expressed concerns". Clients are contacted directly (which they stopped doing a few years ago) to determine if the client has any further information and to let them know what more is...

If the radio works...

Do you mean a review to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board?

LUVW (aka G-Wag): Not exactly easy to source locally, nor through the system. It's hard enough to get a veh sitting in Gagetown fixed, even the part could be easily (I say easily, I'm not a mechanic though) stripped from one of over two dozen other broken G-Wags sitting at various locations in...

I tried. My brain is tired.

Because I only really know my piece of the pie, PEIR with 8CH in the RNBR 5 Div...not sure. PEIR and HalRif are in 36 Bde, 8CH on its own in 37 Bde. Plus, historically, with 8CH closer to 5CDSB Gagetown, and having a somewhat larger pool = more personnel, PEIR and HalRif working together creates...

Not to pour salt in the wound, but...it may have been processed by VAC faster! May I ask why you went to the RCL about submitting your disability application? Is there no VAC office close by?

A reminder to folks who receive an unfavourable decision regarding their CIB application. Those decisions fall under Part 3 of the NVC, and therefore "enjoy" (used very loosely) appeal rights to the Veterans Review and Appeal Board.
