Going in for my DEC appt with the shrink next week. CM asked if I was on LTD from an outside source? Yes Iam, how does this make a difference either way? Do I need to get off my LTD(quit my job) before applying for DEC? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, looked up the policy on DEC...

Iam pensioned for a back condition, I currently go to Chiropractic and massage for treatment, VAC covered.  Tried Physio and didn't like it, I want athletic therapy instead.  Asked CM and this was her response: Athletic Therapy may be covered with VAC if the athletic therapy treatments are part...

After a report from my MD and one from my psychiatrist, the BPA lawyer submitted the claim back for a departmental review. Now to wait a year for results from that. lol

Hi, AirDet So I went back to my MD and he wrote a letter stating my hypertension started around the same time as my diagnosis of PTSD, BP readings previous were 138 over 82 consistently. The NP at the OSI clinic here is a bitch, no support from her at all. She fills out VAC paperwork as judge...

Those are for UN staff.

A fellow at the OSI told me about a UN pension that exists.  Tried the google machine and could not find anything. A friend has an injury in a SDA on a UN mission, curious if anyone has ever heard of such a thing? And how to apply. TIA

She was useless gotta go back to my old doctor to verify normal numbers before the OSI.

Thanks recceguy. Iam seeing the NP @ OSI friday, so hopefully she write a letter.

I have a disability award for Major Depressive Disorder(MDD) consequential to Tinittus. During sessions with a psychologist at the OSI clinic, she states I have PTSD from related service. Called the VAC benefits unit and was told that b/c I have MDD, I cannot claim for PTSD, apparently b/c they...

Thanks for the info. Blue Cross and VAC cannot give me any more info than that. I'll wait for my CM to get back to me.

This benefit code is for the emergency communication cellular services.  Has anyone received this benefit, or know the eligibility requirements?  I asked my CM about it, he seemed unsure and said he would look into it. Can't find any other info on it. TIA

FYI:  VAC will cover up to $500.00 towards a TENS machine, once every 5 years.  You will need a prescription and have a need based upon your claimed condition. ie: Back Injury - needed to treat chronic pain. 

Thanks John. Plugged in Manitoba and the info is the same.

I have a lower back injury that I am receiving benefits for, VAC covers massage and chiropractic.  Does anyone know if VAC covers the cost of a TENS machine, through Blue Cross. TIA
