  I find the best way to deal with them is to go right into the office....face to face

  Sounds like a conversation I had with someone from the board of pension advocates yesterday.  When I got my claim in the mail, there was a letter with it that said I was totally free to appeal the decision for whatever reason I wasn't happy.  So I did.  I brought up the daily pain and...

  OK, my username is CallOfDuty, but I've only played the game about 5 times!!  Back about 6 years ago..lol..

Absolutely not.  They say in the letter you receive in the mail, for whatever reason you can appeal your claim.  You keep the money you received and if your appeal goes through, you get more.  

Facebook is worth over 7 Billion dollars!!! 

  Hey Dogger.......do a search for " vested rights to pay".  It turns up a lot of info.  As far as I can tell, if you choose do do an OT on your own will, you'd go back to CPL pay.  But where this is a medical OT and out of your control, you'd get to keep your pay.   By the way, please stop...

Pusser, Seen.  I get what you are saying now.  It's just frustrating when you work with people who are fully functional members in the workplace...can pass a PT test no problem....and for the most part are living normally with a bad knee or creaky ankles and make 600$$ a month for the rest of...

  My point was that you are wrong.  You presumed what the lump sum was for...and that's not what it's for.  According to VAC ...."The disability award is meant to recognize and compensate for the non-economic impacts of a service-related disability."

  Pusser, when you're injured and receive a lump sum benefit, there is absolutely no mention of what to do with the money, except for anything over 12,000 they do offer you 500$ worth of financial planning.  If you choose to take it.  

    Exactly......that's why the ombudsman is putting the big push on now for getting rid of the lump sum payments.  Let's hope that things change for the better.

  Heres a link to VAC's just the facts page......http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/general/sub.cfm?source=department/facts-fait/lump-sum-disability The bottom line says..        "The Lump Sum Disability Award is a tax-free payment of up to $276,080, based on the extent of the disability. Veterans are...

.....Why do people decide, after the age of 65, that everything must be beige?  Including their cars!!

  I don't think that's the issue.  Personally, I want to be as far away from " the field" as I can possibly be!!

  Failed pft and was CT'd?  CT in  our world means you were component transferred.  Anyhow, what about the ncm  trade AESOP?  That's an aircrew job....and an awesome one too.  It is a roundabout way to go...but if those are your options, go for it.      Go for it. Take a nice airforce ncm...

...I'm curious too!  Why in the hell would you pay for a full university education yourself and then join up to be a private for the next 4 years??   I'm not saying NCM is a waste of time, but theres a lot of very interesting officer trades, that you could have chosen!!  Unless maybe you were...

  Hey there.  If you go on the DIN, and go to your base BPSO site, they should have links to the in service selection site and you will be able to see the status of the trade, exact numbers, and all the OT info you need.    I just went to an OT seminar the other day, and one of the main things...

There is also a program called UTPNCM where if you already have at least 2 university credits, you can apply and they will make you a Naval cadet officer and you will go to school for 4 years and do military stuff during the summer.  You would keep your current pay, plus spec pay even as a cadet...

  Wow....now that is sad.  You want to become an officer?  You've already set your sights on the bare minimum and going to fat camp?  Do you know when your get to BMQ that you will be doing hundreds of pushups every day?  Sad......   You sound like a shit-pump already.  Just what the navy's...

Well congrats man!  :nod:

Coming back to sunny Shearwater EITS?  If you are, I'd love to buy you a  coffee sometime and pick your brain a bit...... :)
