Has anyone experienced this? I can't understand how I am eligible treatment for a disability through VAC yet not a disability benefit. Thank You

It's an accountability issue to ensure you are where you're supposed to be. Most MIR's will provide a chit stating the date and time you were at the MIR. Even though you are being released the CF still has to account for where you are during the day. We can't stay at home and receive a cheuqe...

I thought it looked to good to be true. I have looked all over the VAC website and there doesn't appear to be any way to action or grieve the slow turnaround time. You can appeal which I am in the process of for another claim right now, but there is zero acccountability on the VAC part to...

I was just curious about the sixteen week turnaround time for award decsions. I have recieved a letter saying that my three claims I submitted had enough medical evidence in my file to go forward and that a decison would be made within 16 weeks. Is this turnaround time just a guideline or do...

How are people getting their payout statements? Through email/snail mail or cf mail.

They'll think twice about signing when they find out they have to pay 500+ bucks out of their paycheck during training. Especially the candidates with spouse and children.

I was on IR for 4 months, unaccompanied for 6 months first. My house was actively on the market and was priced 50k below assessed value ( which was 30k lower than the realtor wanted to list it for). After ten months my house sold and my family got to move here with me. Should someone in a...

apologies end rant

But these are cost essential to moving not of personal choice.

So aside from the pets having electricity,water, natural gas connected to your house would be personal choices too??

You ever been on IR and had kids at home with a wife/husband who couldnt find employment because your husband/wife has to move every couple of years. Then you cant sell your house unless you want to take a 50-75k loss, than you paid for it not market value? So hubby/wifey goes on IR on their...

I agree with cuts and doing our part to help balance the budget. But I disagree with doing it on the CF members backs. There are many other areas that can be streamlined or cut without having to take money out of CF members pockets. I think the hardest pill to swallow is that MP's have not had...
