DND seriously needs to build more barracks or single quarters. It is much needed.

If I wanted to submit a Grievance, would I compile it by using a regular Military Memo format?

It's not as intimidating as people might think and not bad at all. You meet with your BPA Lawyer about 30 minutes prior to the actual Board Hearing to go over the plan of attack and key points the Lawyer wants to hit home. During the hearing, your lawyer will do the majority of the talking and...

Just some new updated Decision making info from the mouths of VRAB themselves regarding Appeal Decision. During my recent In-Person Appeal Board Hearing conclusion they advised me that they will have a Decision in 6-8 weeks. I just received my VRAB Decision Letter in 2 weeks! That is some good...

Ack. Yep, for sure should see something. Something is better than nothing. I'll take it.

So, obviously this will apply to us guys who had several Lump Sum amounts from Favourable conditions as well? All mine were from 2017 to present.

Yea, the only thing fast these days about BPA and VRAB is the time it takes for VRAB to reach a Decision upon completion of a Hearing. Everything else is one long double than normal wait. Pathetic.

Nope, not an 8 month delay, just 3 month, but I can shed some new info light on BPA and VRAB as I just completed not 1, but 2 In-Person VRAB Appeal Hearings. I can confirm that there is now only a 6-8 week wait for VRAB with their Decision Letter to you. That is remarkable considering in the...

Just an FYI, you can tell how much your Lump Sum will be just by that PSC Monthly amount in your Current Benefits. I'm assuming you already know, but just giving you a heads up. Congrats on an amazing fast OSI Claim and congrats on a Favourable Decision and the lump sum should be a hefty amount.

You will receive in electronically in your My VAC Account Inbox in a week or so, once it changes to Complete. That being said, there is a way to already tell if your VAC claim is Favourable or Denied, once the status changes to Complete. Go to Current Benefits and Payment History. Click on...

Going off my brother's recent Lump Sum form. He received his Lump Sum form around the 6 week mark and received his deposit 14 business days later. It seems you will receive the deposit a lot sooner than it takes to receive the form. 14 business days is not bad at all.

Wow, interesting. Yea, let me know how it goes and what length of business day you receive the payment i..e 13th day. Just curious. My last one I received on 10th business day after signing/submitting the form. Hope you receive it tomorrow and it don't get dragged out like the recent Lump Sum...

Yep, 6 weeks just to receive a form is unacceptable. From experience with this form on how it works, it's not rocket science either. It's just simple math calculation for the Lump Sum. It's baffling why they can't action a simple math form for the percentage/lump sum and send it. It's not like...

Officially into the 6th week wait now for the form. As for experience with payments, VAC has been processing them faster than the wait for the forms. I am using my most recent one and also a buddy of mine as examples. Wait time approx for deposit of Lump Sum was 9-10 days. Hopefully that stays true.

Unreal. 5 week mark and still waiting for a Lump Sum form UGH!!

The request for Lump Sum option forms are taking painfully way longer than normal these days you got that right. My brother requested his on 12 May and he still hasn't received it. Tomorrow will be the 5 week mark. Friggin' pathetic that it's taking this long for a form!

Damn right, what an all-around complete shitshow they are.

Speaking of VRAB hearings. After 10 long months, I finally received my Statement of Case (SOC) last week, but BPA told me due to the backlog, my VRAB board hearing will probably not happen until the Fall timeframe. Definitely sucks given all the waiting so far. Then it will probably be another...

Geez, that is an abnormal long time at Step 3.2. Normally, from my own experience, once it proceeds to Step 3.2 it goes Complete in a matter of days. It just happened to my brother's VAC claim. Went to Step 3.2 then 2 days later went Complete.

Don't hold back one minute. Go on your VAC Account if you have one created and submit a VAC claim for that. If this is documented in your service medical records, there is a good chance you will be approved. Go ahead for sure and apply. In recent year or so, as a general rule of thumb and from...
