For a pensioner getting  $25000/year this would mean approximately $17.00/month increase in PSHCP, before any tax calculations, deductions,etc. It doesn't sound like much, but for some it will have an impact. I think the hardest pill to swallow is that the game rules were once again changed...

Each case is different. I don't have any experience with your surgery but with regards to the PTSD  I can tell you how it went for me. After my application I was awarded an initial 10% with a followup eight months later if the condition stabilized. This, in my case, happened within the 16 week...

Unfortunately all my awards are under the NVC even though some of them go back to the early 90's. I have been reading up on PIA and it looks like a bunch of hoops to jump through, which is understandable. I hope I don't have to start the process over from the very beginning. Still serving right...

Thanks, right now I am at 109% plus other conditions under review. I will be continuing to process my other claims simply out of principal, I was told by VAC that since some of my injuries were in special duty areas that all future medical needs would be taken care of because of this regardless...

I think I have wrapped my head around it now. It's not right and I am certain that other members aren't aware that the lump sum payment is THE LUMP SUM, once you reach 100% you will not receive any more compensation regardless if you have more injuries. I'll still pursue my other claims even...

I just received a letter from VAC for a disability claim, it states that this disability was assessed at 73% but because my other disability awards total 47% I will only receive 53%, according to law I cannot receive more than 100% total award. Has anyone had this issue or heard about it? This...

PTSD can cause sleep apnea. There are many studies about this. Just google it.

Yes two days to sort any issues out, that's loads of time. :facepalm:

I would go to the CRA website or an accountant to see how much taxes need to be deducted, rather than rely on the OR, no offence to any OR, but taxes are not their specialty. And someday I might get my PIL it's only been 14 months I don't want to rush things.  :-\

Let the audits of the audits begin  ;D, I have been stuck in that cycle before. Good luck hope you get it sooner rather than later.

My file was received in Feb 2012 by the PIL team, I have the 729. I recently sent them an email after their routine update stating they were processing files received in April 2012. The reply I received was that they indeed had my file and it is either being processed or has been processed. Then...

Amalgamation should have taken place years ago. I can recall more than I care to remember how many times Mar Eng's would have to wait for an ET to come and isolate something and vice versa before any work could even be started. In order to do most jobs onboard the manpower is doubled due to the...

At 2359hrs  ;D

I'll have to disagree on that. I am a veteran according to all government legislation, and this is wherein a lot of the issues lie. It doesn't matter where you served where you went or if you are currently serving or not serving. This only perpetuates our, meaning Veterans (those that have...

I myself do not think myself a veteran, even though I have 25+ years with numerous deployments and am still serving. That is part of the issue. When most Canadians, including myself and other serving members, think of a veteran they picture the WWI WWII and Korean vets. This is partly because...

I tend to agree with Pat on this one. I know whom he is referring to regarding the A team. Sadly I too have seen a substantial number of personnel that just wanted to be marine engineering mechanics/technicians being forced to release because the current system was too inflexible to accommodate...

Agreed, but to a young Cpl being told your a high ready without understanding how the system really works can seem a  bit misleading.  That being said CFPAS is available for everyone to read on almost all DWAN machines. I would think the "younger" generation should have little difficulty finding...

No such thing as a high ready, its either ready or immediate. Look at the form, unsatisfactory, developing, ready, and immediate are the only choices. Unless the dots line up your PER it will not reach the monitoring board no matter how good the write up is. Telling someone they have a high...
