"Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) presently provides support to access cellular telephones for eligible Veterans with a physical disability who drive their own cars. The cellular telephone is intended to be used to summons assistance if the Veteran encounters difficulties that his disability...

Being higher up in the puzzle factory doesn't necessarily mean they understand what may be happening in another part of the factory. Going back to the legislation (and as anyone who deals with government knows, if it ain't in the legislation, it don't matter - and I work for the federal...

I wouldn't take that as gospel.  Nearly everyone I know who has asked VAC the same question has gotten different answers.  They're flying by the seat of their pants because the bosses haven't told them anything yet. 

You can request them via an online Privacy Act request.  Quicker than mailing the form. http://www.forces.gc.ca/en/transparency-access-info-privacy/request-forms.page They will ask for an extension of the time limit by letter.  There will be a phone number on the letter that you can call to...

Holy schnikey...good catch, Blackadder1916.  I'd love to be a fly on the wall for this interview...

PG is the classification, 06 is the level.  That's procurement and finance.  Could be Air, Land, Sea, Major Projects.  PG-06 is as senior as they get, definitely management level.  For growth and advancement, I think you're looking at moving into the EX levels after that, not sure.  Procurement...

For which classification, and do you have any idea which part of DND?

Well, all I can tell you is that if you think it should have been 4/5 or 5/5, then it's worth a departmental review at the very least.  There must be something in your med file that you think would lend itself to a rating of 4/5 or 5/5 - or is there something in your med file or dealing with...

Ask for a case manager.  Then you have to decide for yourself if you feel that 3/5 attribution to military service is fair, or whether 10% is an appropriate disability level when looking at the VAC disability tables for the condition.  If you think it isn't, you need to call Bureau of Pensions...

It worked for me.  YMMV.

Anyone screened out is (or should be) provided the contact information of the person running the process, and they can have the application reviewed.  If it doesn't say "You must have experience working with this department" in the essential qualifications of the poster, then they cannot use...

Yet the QL is what is normally used, when it is used.  The competition I was hired under required QL6A, in addition to general electronics qualifications.  The current pool of applicants had the same QL6A requirement.

Those are only recommendations, though.  Implementing only those recommendations would represent a major renege on the promises made during the election.  There is absolutely no mention of a return to any kind of pension in those recommendations whatsoever. Strangely enough, it does mention the...

FTFY. As I understand it, there are some stakeholder members of the VAC Policy Advisory Group who are not pushing the reinstatement of disability pensions for all those affected by the the NVC.  It would be a travesty if we got the Liberal government to commit to restoring full disability...

I know it's correct.  I'm currently receiving a pension for tinnitus and hearing loss as separately pensionable conditions.  ;)

Maybe not in this particular instance, but I've seen Public Service jobs (mostly technical in nature, EL, EG and TI classifications) that stipulated QL6A as an essential criteria, for example.  And in some trades, the difference between being QL5B and QL6A is the maple leaf.

Completely different program at VAC.  You're talking about the ELB top-up. There will be a retroactive top-up to any lump sum disability award(s) you have received since the NVC took effect in April 2006.  You will receive a top-up sometime after April 2017.  VAC already knows who has received...

That's simply my guess.  The wording is so ambiguous they could do it either way and substantiate the way they decided to do it.  Who knows what their actual intent was when writing it up.  Hopefully there will be a detailed calculation sent out for everyone when it's time to make the direct...

I think(!) the way they'll do it would actually be 54000 - 1.3%.  Take the result and deduct 1.1% off the result.  Then take that result and deduct 2.0%...and so on.  The net result is marginally less of a hit than the way you did it.

Oh my...this is getting downright painful to read. Here's the gospel according to the legislation.  Amendments to the NVC begin at Section 80. Changes to the Disability Award and Death Benefit begin at Section 99. The vast majority of people getting the retro payment will come under Section...
