PuckChaser is correct. Not only are there several tables within the TOD but there are other associated conditions such as sleep apnea, bruxism, etc. From personal experience, don't get your hopes too high. They don't typically rate us as we do when we read the tables. Good luck

FYI Email received from VAC today, " Adjudication is currently processing claims dated November 2016. " By my calculation that puts them at 14 months behind and that's from the time the app is moved to step 3. They must be paid by the hour instead of a performance based model. (Joking!!! ...

I hate auto correct!!

The other interesting thing I noticed with the release was the statement on service standards. As of last week VAC is still working on first applications from October 2016. Yes, you read that right 2016.... so much for them saying it has improved.

It doesn't surprise me that the Liberals think less of us. We've always been considered extendible by the Liberals. All we were asking for was parity and respect. We should have seen this slap in the face coming. 

Wow, that sucks. The good news is that VAC makes their own assessment based on the entire picture.

You know, every case is different. I had 2 take over 1.5 years. I've also had 2 go right to step 3 in a month. Mind you they've been at step 3 for over 4 months. All that to say, I think it depends on how fast they get the data they need and who gets your file at stage 3. Things do appear to be...

CplCannabis, I would be interested in seeing any update you have on this. My hypertension was attributed to PTSD by an MO and the OSI clinic. My claim went from Step 1 to Step 3 in a flash but stalled there. I'll let you know what they decide. Maybe it will assist... or not.

The only thing that seems to get their attention is when you send a letter to your MP and the Minister himself. Give that a try. At the very least you'll hear from them. Good luck.

It looks like Japan wants a piece of N. Korea too. They have dispatched ships to join in "exercises" with Carl Vinson Strike Group. http://news.abs-cbn.com/overseas/04/12/17/japan-plans-joint-show-of-force-with-us-carrier-headed-to-korean-peninsula-sources

I'll bet some other wannabe has already stepped into this criminal's shoes. There never seems to be a shortage of fanatics when dealing with radical islam.

To re-enforce what Eye In The Sky said, deal with this ASAP. If you don't get a resolution from your immediate CofC then draft the Notice to Grieve. If you do that right away your PER will be kept at the CO's Desk. He can hear and make changes if warranted. This is much easier than the full ROG...

De-modifying the legacy aircraft would be difficult but so long as the equipment (Storage Spheres, converters, etc) are still in supply (and serviceable) it could be done. Changing the Super Hornets would likely be a major undertaking. Let's not forget that the reason OBOGS came into being was...

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone... Seriously, it sure put smiles on a lot of people here.

I'm pleased to report that my top-up arrived yesterday in the bank. That was fast.

I guess so many people tried logging in this morning that they crashed the site. It's good that VAC actually met a timeline... they said we'd receive a letter the beginning of April. They said, payments would be sent out by mid-month. Let's see if they meet that timeline too.

We were given the same line in East Timor but no choice. Mefloquine or a charge and sent home. We named our days by the drug: -Mefloquine Mondays -Terror Tuesdays -Nightmare Wednesdays... etc. Some of us even reported "daymares" after the Monday dosage.

That's another valid reason why we don't apply right away. Personally, I got fed up with doctors telling me to apply. Then we read comments such as those above... The VAC system IS broken and to repair it would require a major overhaul. People like Words-Twice's friends obviously need to be...

So a few months ago I started looking into this. I contacted the minister's office and my local MP. After a long talk with a staffer I was told that they receive so many complaints about VAC that it's all they can do to keep up.... that's only one department and only one district. It was also...

I don't think they know what the heck they're talking about. Mine was a re-eval and entered stage 3 on 1 Dec. I got my decision letter last week. Like others have noted here; there is a noticeable discrepancy in everything they say. They don't understand we don't really care what the answer is...
