The tour allowances only apply to class c reservist. For reg force, it’s the allowances in place at the time of release. I am inclined to think that class c reservists are technically released out of the forces before being re-enrolled back into their home unit in order to move them from one pay...

I went through my files and found my sheet from my tour that listed my additional allowances and monthly amounts. While serving in Kandahar I got risk level 4, hardship level 5, and foreign service 1A… but I would have hit level 1 B on the last month of my tour. Back in 2011 that totaled 2222...

There could never be any equal compensation between a medically released reservist or reg force person injured in a special duty area. As a reservist, I do not automatically qualify to receive my CF pension, I am penalized on the career impact top up allowance… you can have more than 20 calendar...

I just got my letter as of Feb 2023 with the opt out form. Letter indicates a final hearing on 23 April 2023… must be just getting to those released medically that were class c reservists at time of entry… we must be harder to track down… or maybe they just got around to including people like...

The law firm actually mailed me a copy of this certified class action stating that this class action included me and if I did not want to be included, this was my opportunity to OPT OUT. Anyone else get an envelope in the mail with an opt out form? This statement in the class action has the...

My situation sound a lot like yours. I am DEC, rolled over with SISIP, have pension income, and qualify for DTC. I was medically released, had my first 2 years of SISIP LTD and continued on LTD as I continued to meet the criteria but remained for over a year under the VOC Rehab category until...

I did that too. James Bezan happens to be my MP.

During the call, I had asked the agent to put me through to a supervisor or someone at a higher level because he clearly lacked enough knowledge to help me. I phrased that pretty much like that and he accused me of being abusive. I told him I was not being abusive, I was asserting my right to...

I just got a letter from the CRA stating that my Manulife (SISIP) ELB and VAC Veterans Benefits are in question. Their position is that I have misreported this income under line 10400 and that if I do not provide proof of this income, they will move the amount under line 13000 and treat it as...

I did not find any of the above helpful. I believe that RTD021 wants to know more about how all your sources of income are treated - now just the adjustment to 70% (and what this 70% amount is applied against). I have the same questions too. A few years ago, all DEC (and SISIP recipients) got a...

The process is sort of similar to applying for VAC’s caregiver benefit. You have to show that you have significant impact to at least 1 or 2 activities of daily living... but unlike the caregiver benefit... with the DST you can use cumulative injury impacts. If your multiple impairments add up...

I got a home gym valued at $1200 from soldier-on as a grant This was over 5 years ago, so you might want to inquire if it’s still ongoing... I googled and it appears to still be running. The program is called a “soldiers foot locker”. I was going through my medical release working with a...

When I reached 98%, I was moved from Type A benefits to Type B Access is further defined by recipient type: A-line recipients have access to available benefits and services related to their pensioned/awarded condition; and B-line recipients have access to any approved benefit or service based...

Anyone in receipt of veterans benefits, CPP disability or the disability tax credit was to automatically receive $600 to offset additional expenses from dealing with Covid. My spouse was pensioned 5% under the old charter and I am 102% under the new... and I qualified under all 3 categories. We...

I got my $600 COVID benefit from VAC this morning as well as my spouse. My cousin who receives benefits from VAC as an RCMP member got his too. So hopefully all those that currently receive benefits from VAC got theirs too.

Diagnosis date of illness / injury determines where you land for benefits. If you were originally diagnosed before 2006, any updates do not affect your NVC pension other then to increase the amount. However, if your PTSD is a new diagnosis... even if there are documented symptoms before 2006...

My situation is similar. I am on ELB and was moved to DEC last year. I applied for CPP disability and qualified. I had a letter from health Canada showing I was not suitable to return to work. So that helped. I was also instructed by SISIP to apply upon my release and then again to reapply after...

Looks like service Canada has updated the information on this one time payment. The link is: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/covid19-emergency-benefits/one-time-payment-persons-disabilities.html Criteria for VAC benefits recipients is stated: Eligibility - Individuals who are...

I just saw an announcement the other day that the federal government expanded the recipients that qualify for covid 19  financial support regarding persons with disabilities. The list includes disability tax credit receivers, those on CPP disability, or those receiving disability supports...

Same story. I was moved from voc rehab to DEC last year and with that, I no longer have case management services. I applied for the DTC earlier this year and qualified under the cumulative disabilities category. I matched my medical history / injuries under each criteria / ADL and how each one...
