    "Double Dippers" Mega Thread

    I think if you read those pages it over complicates the issue to the average guy.  You're correct,  you can not collect CFSA and buy it back at the same time in PSSA and why would you?  However,  you are offered, but you would be crazy unless you're a deferred annuitant.  The CFSA annuitant...

    "Double Dippers" Mega Thread

    This is the truth,  Public Servants with past military service receiving a CFSA pension are not double dipping.  These are 2 very separate pension systems.  If you paid into one and want to port it to the other,  that is possible but it does not make it the same pension.  The "HATERS" like to...

    Hearing Loss Appeal to VAB

    The appeal is a legal argument which is evidence based,  sounds like so far you have absence of evidence. It's not like you can go back to DND/CF because your in the hands of VAC at this point.  If you are a B Client already,  it's pretty simple.  Save any appeals until you have the test,  I...

    Hearing Loss Appeal to VAB

    This is shaping up to be a classic, "benefit of the doubt".  Upon release you should have done part I and II medicals which include the test that you are alluding to.  If they failed to do it or lost the records that is beyond your control.  My suggestion is do an DND ATI for your medical...

    Vets' Ombudsman: "Veterans not getting the help they need"

    Teager - you are absolutely correct.  The standard of service across the country is not equal while being released.  We have troops 3B released  being turned away from SCAN seminars because of waiting lists in Petawawa.  Extra efforts put in for some where the others are left to fend for...

    SISIP LTD 2002 - 2018

    The only addition I would have is to contact the DND Ombudsman and explain your situation.  They may decide to address the issue at ministerial level as unfairness to reserve pers.

    Earnings Loss Benefit - Application

    Go to you local IPSC for the docs you need.  If you are already a VAC client which it sounds like your are.  Get on their website and create a "My VAC Account",  you can apply for almost anything  including all benefits that way and it has better secure messaging there as well.  This messaging...

    VAC Doctor does not agree with my Doctors

    You should be advised that the RCL Service Officer are co-representing you with the BPA.  The are acting as one and the Service Officer does hold the BPA Office's feet to the fire.

    CF98's and VAC (merged)

    So first of all,  medical documentation is fair better than any CF98 and it looks like the MRI has concluded that.  The reason the CF 98 is important and should be addressed (obviously at a higher level than the people he was dealing with) is that it collaborates the injury to service (key point...

    VAC Spending/Downsizing (merged)

    This is not news.  This was announced sometime ago.  It is not "could" it's "will".  The could and should close Kirkland Lake, it serves no purpose located by Timmins.

    Rehabilitation / Disability Application Denied

    Yes that is called "full disclosure".  You have the right to know what was used as evidence but even better,  what was removed as evidence.  File flagging is the last thing they got got doing where they would highlight the file with what THEY thought was important and removed what they thought...

    A little help with VAC

    I saw the VAC Ombudsman last week (one of the investigators in Ottawa),  they say they have a list of pro-bono lawyers that will take on the VRAB in federal court if you have exhausted all of your appeals and do, in fact, have a legitimate case. It is true,  the Ontario Trial Lawyers...

    Pension Transfer Value / Lump Sum Pymt [Merged]

    I never said that the pension was inadequate,  I responded to the original post about the assumption of retirement is presumed what we receive is the same as politicians.  If you tell a civy you have retired from the military,  they presume you will not be working. If you make a point about...

    Pension Transfer Value / Lump Sum Pymt [Merged]

    and there it is!  The drawing of parallels to private sector.  I wonder if the private sector has unlimited sacrifice and knowingly puts their people in harms way.  NO? Well I guess we don't have to draw anymore parallels. Nothing against the private sector but they are typically better paid...

    Pension Transfer Value / Lump Sum Pymt [Merged]

    The average civilian hears what the politician after 6 years will get and automatically assume that military or public servant get the same,  not exactly. Little know fact,  politician pensions are $14.00 paid by tax payer for every $1.00 and only need to serve 6 years to get it. Military and...

    Veterans being ‘kept in the dark’ when applying for disability benefits: Ombudsm

    "Officials also routinely flag aspects of an applicant’s service and health history before the information arrives on an adjudicator’s desk, Parent found, even though they don’t have the authority to do so." Where I'm from is called "MISCONDUCT" and a breach of the Public Service Code of...
