    Pension Transfer Value / Lump Sum Pymt [Merged]

    I'm in the same boat:  Released in Aug 2016, just spoke with RPPO yesterday and found out my Severance Audit is complete, but because they do everything by snail-mail the cheque won't be sent to SISIP for RRSP deposit until after the Mar 1st deadline.  >:( Jay_N3000:  I'll PM you the phone...

    Naval Combat Dress (NCD) uniform [Merged]

    That is sharp.  Zebra print looks a little more dapper though.

    Released Personnel Pay Office (RPPO)

    Thanks to you both.  Comparing the email I had to NFLD Sapper's, I may have been given a bad email address originally. Certainly the flooded building doesn't help either.  :facepalm:  Cross my fingers I can get in touch with somebody from that office soon.  Waiting six months for this severance...

    Released Personnel Pay Office (RPPO)

    Howdy all, Does anybody have a phone number or email that can actually get through to the DND Released Personnel Pay Office (RPPO)? The calls I've made to their 800-773-7705 line, and emails to [email protected] have all gone unreturned in the last two weeks.  My concerns...

    IE 20 and Imediate Pension at 20 years service

    My IPR move was a fiasco, so this hiccup seems par for the course.  The way this is going I'm envisioning my first pension cheque arriving something like Clark Griswald's Christmas bonus (including the rant): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_RTPUv_vr0

    IE 20 and Imediate Pension at 20 years service
