Definitely challenge it of your in the same boat because I was thinking the exact same way untill I did the calcs and re-read the language. I almost didn't bother calling in, I've asked the question via message before and got no actual answer as usual. But the analyst confirmed any percentage...

Everyone please go back to your current benefits and payment history, and add up total disability award and other benefits "additional lump sum". I don't know why I didn't raise the alarm earlier, but I just spoke to VAC about my math vs their math and I and they just realized I was shorted...

That's right, parliament need's to mandate that unspent funds be used - ideally to veteran's benefits / apply a annual excess funds top up ect. and not simply beef up their overhead. All they have here is approval to hire should they have cash on hand to do so.

Thanks Teager, I sent this off to BPA - last time I worked with them we changed VA's entitlement decision, hoping for the same: Good Afternoon, I am looking for assistance on appealing what I believe was an unjust denial of the Critical Injury Benefit due to criteria interpretation...

I have an even simpler dumber question, are there really so many fake Veteran's out there that we need a card to identify ourselves? Am I missing something, or is that literally its only function? I mean thanks, sweet gesture but... give it a purpose of SOMEKIND.

To be fair though, I have to admit. This only really add's significant money at 100% disability ratings, anything under 55-65% may have disappointing conversion rates. They really need to be forthcoming on their calculation methods, and what the qualifier is for the additional pain and...

You can, but not the income replacement which makes up the majority of the budget. and the lump sums are capped at 360k vs lifetime amounts of 800k +++ so they save over 50% of their budget per person for those who opt for lump sums, but, they need to budget for the worst case scenario - where...

It reads depressing but its not, the reason they do not need the cash up front is because there calculation again assumes everyone will take monthly payments. And with that logic They can spread that one out literally over 20-30 years. Its just dumb accounting to finance the full sum just to...

It doesn't, your not missing it. Based on vauge answers from VA, they have nkt

Exactly, the gap is just too big. Now, they do take into account what you have already received but it does not apply to pain and suffering. That calculation applies to the Pension for Life amount ie. fund number 3. Which cannot be taken in lump sum. Now we wait,

Sorry , it's a PDF with. All the financial details http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/services/pension-for-life

My attachment didn't show up, but for here scroll down and click on Lauren's well being journey it's a PDF W

Here, this should settle your collective anxiety. I know, I feel the same way in waiting to get blind sided but aside from the fact they don't talk about the lump sums, I have confi they can both be taken as a lump sum. I've attached one of their case studies, of course it's monthly payment...

Also, guys don't spazz, of course we are entitled to our lump sums, read their own case studies. It's elementary. But, 100 percent paid does not equal according to pain and suffering, that's where adjudication comes in.. All in saying is, if you have exactly 26 years left to live and you happen...

Well atleast they don't save any dimes as we sequentially off our selves. Goes to the families.

As long as VAC determines your remaining life expectancy to be 26;years or greater your choice on how to receive this 5 percent will not effect how you qualify for the post April 2019 benefits. You will be able to choose between lump sum or monthly payments

The spreadsheet was incorrect, it assumed the monthly amounts were equal to the lump sum payments. It is correct for the month calculations. You will not be penalized for your previous lump sum if you in your 30's because it is calculated over years remaining In Your life. However if you lump...

I was in the exact same boat, released back in 09, was buying a house half in cash with a small 50k earnings loss benefit, NOPE didnt fly as income, I ended up getting a BS job for 90 days just to check the box of income, then quit once the mortgage was finalized. Long story short, count on...

Just went over this with the case manager, stepping in just because its backwards. You have 6 months to apply for CFIS after the program. Otherwise, you have to re-apply for the program, wait, approved, then apply. Carefull, its muddy and they are really trying to push this all out to the...

Quotes and everything!! lol "Under the New Veterans Charter, disabled veterans could receive a lump-sum payment of up to $360,000 – an amount that is rarely awarded – depending upon the severity of their injury, plus a myriad of other benefits that target specific issues. Under the new plan...
