I couldn't resist! Besides, I was so thoroughly disappointed by Passchendaele, I had to pick on something before seeing this one.

From the still... Does Mr. Gross have his middle finger on the trigger? Index is above and off the trigger, but it looks like he's stuck his middle finger in there... And yes, I realize how that sounds, my brain is tired and the vocab escapes me.

konda and koreakid: I can try to assist and provide you with the information readily available to me. Which is what I have attempted to do above. While I do not speak for anyone working in IT or Communications or Web stuff at VAC, I highly doubt there was any conspiracy or malicious intent in...

koreankid: The studies to which you refer are the fol: 1) Cancer Incidence Study 2003: Australian Veterans of the Korean War. It is available here: http://www.aihw.gov.au/publication-detail/?id=6442467537 2) Mortality Study 2003: Australian Veterans of the Korean War. It is available here...

"3/4 million"? Say again your last, over. $750,000?! The max payment under the current rate tables is less than half that (strictly NVC talking). I am obviously not including the other benefits and programs available. Something isn't lining up here.

As I thought, RobA. BPA and VRAB are tied by the legislation, as found in section 85 of the CFMVRCA. As both EL and PIA are under Part 2, we don't have jurisdiction to hear EL or PIA. If it was disability award or CIB, yep, bring it, BPA will assist. I wish I had a better answer in that...

Personally, I hate dealing with bureaucracy over the phone. Too often, $hit gets further f**ked up when emotions get the better of our explanations. I tend to do a lot of it in writing. It's on paper, I'm creating a traceable record, and I expect a response in writing (which I sometimes...

Question: have you been in touch with any of the lawyers at the Bureau of Pensions Advocates? They know the system better than a private solicitor, and better yet, provide free legal advice and representation. I fail to comprehend based on the little you have told us why you have engaged a...

Who is "they"? If you look at the NVC, (and now we're way off the original topic) disability awards and CIB fall under Section 3. EL and PIA fall under Section 2. The Veterans Review and Appeal Board, while it has the mandate to hear any and all decisions brought before it, can do little to nil...

I'd like to know if the 5% was something mentioned over the phone, or actually sent in writing. The OA (osteoarthritis) added on top of the labral tear would mean an increase in symptoms. From this added symptom, it is possible to receive a higher Medical Impairment rating, depending on its...

The format was recently changed, in an effort to meet Treasury Board and other guidelines to contain clear and concise language, etc. Tt has changed more than once in the last five to six years, as well. I have a file on my desk right now, with four decisions in it, from May 2014 to July 2015...

Neither do we, should the proverbial excrement hit the large ventilation device, which we should be prepared for, whether it be at the international or domestic level. But we certainly like to think we do.

If you are not satisfied with the decision, you can request a Departmental Review. Go through the Bureau of Pensions Advocates to start the process. There's no way of knowing, really, if they made a "mistake". The person you spoke to on the phone is invariably a completely different person from...

It will depend on how much information is contained in the letter, and where the text falls. Why is this important? Are you missing the last page of your decision letter?

Couple of things to note as well: http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/transition/rehabilitation/earnings-loss http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/transition/rehabilitation/permanent-impairment-allowance When in doubt, call the number at the bottom, or send a secure message through your...
