Even though I am maxed out at 100% Disability so no more Funding from PSC, is it still worth it to do my upcoming VRAB Appeal hearing seeing there will be no monetary value from it? Just curious that's all whether it's worth the effort to do it or not?

I have an upcoming Appeal board and was wondering if I can get people's input on a question. Long story short, is it still worth it to go ahead with this Appeal hearing even though I am maxed out at 100% Disability with no more VAC funding as in lump sums? I was at the 85% Disability when I...

VRAB is doubly slower these days it seems for waiting on Appeal Board hearing dates. Mine was Registered with VRAB last May 2024 and they advised me today that there is a 12-18 month wait just for a Hearing date! That is pathetic and a painful wait. Might as well just go on with life and forget...

In 2024, I had a Favourable Entitled condition for Hearing Loss. How does one go about getting Hearing Aids?

Long story short, VAC is trying to get me off IRB, but I am in no way, shape or form physical and mental wise to reintegrate back into the workforce. I am not on DEC so how, through my Family Doctor, do I magically convince VAC to keep me on IRB? I need DEC status. What would you recommend and how?

Just thought I would put this out there as VAC has improved vastly in two areas and is a good thing. Lump Sum processing is a lot faster now. My relative just received theirs in 6 days! That is a huge improvement from 6 weeks. Also, his APSC application went Complete and approved in get...

Would Deceased Veterans from the early 90's (passed away 1990) be included and/or eligible in any VAC Class Action lawsuit regarding Disability Pensions if the Deceased member was in receipt of VAC pensions, etc..... in the late 80's / early 90's?

Good day, I have an IRB question. I am only receiving LTD of $1700, but I am looking at applying on IRB. If I was to apply on IRB and got approved, how much IRB would I get, given the amount of LTD? Long story short for an example, if I didn't have LTD with no income or on social assistance, I...

Hello, Has anyone ever seen or have this weird unexpected application status change happen to any of their VAC claims or more specifically a mental health claim? A relative of mine's OSI mental health claim went to Step 3 Decision Making level step 3.2 Decision Making in Progress today and in...

Does this Manuge Miscalculation of Disability Pensions Class Action include any Veterans who received multiple Disability Benefits Lump Sum amounts? I'm guessing we are eligible correct? If so, when should we be notified of when we can file a claim to receive compensation?

Just a general question. Anyone know off hand how much the lump sum would be for a Favourable Tinnitus Appeal Entitlement Review for five-fifths? That would be the highest wouldn't it?

I have a question about MEL's and employability. I don't want to get too in-depth, but would like some insight in basic terms or whatever guidance someone can provide me. If I go ahead with a VAC claim for Adjustment Disorder / Anxiety as a Class A Reservist can I still be employable? I fully...

I have a general, but important question that I am hoping someone could shed some light on. I am a Reservist and would submitting a VAC claim for an OSI negitively impact my remaining 7 years in the Reserve Force, as in would I be able to continue to serve my remaining 7 years? I have a valid...

Does anyone have any idea on how much of a Lump Sum amount equates to for an Entitlement of five fifths for Tinnitus Review?

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know approx or an estimated amount one would receive for a favourable Knee claim?

For curiosity purposes, anyone have any idea on a ballpark amount estimate you would receive for an approved Lower Back or upper back claim for an Entitlement? What about a Knee claim? I'm not looking for a specific amount, just an approximate of what I might be looking at "IF" one of those...

Any new word that they might be bringing back double dipping for the Reserves? I've been hearing some strong talk from my WO and a Capt at Admin OR that it is a good possibility, but have anyone on here heard anything more concrete or good source talk as well? I hate to use the words "double...
