I'm currently in a bunfight with Veterans Affairs Canada regarding a potential disability pension. It seems that arthritis in both knees, both feet, and one side of my hip cannot be directly attributable to 29 years of Army service and training.
I'm looking for direction on where to find background information (for those long enough in the tooth to remember) concerning the old 2 x10 miler, LFCA Warrior fitness testing, and the standards for the current BFT.
It appears that I have to prove "cause' of the injuries and how they are directly attributable to military service. The fact that there is no pre-existing condition, and there are medical entries in my service records do not meet VAC’s test! Unless there is a completed CF 98, the injuries are deemed to have not been attributable to service!
Feedback would be much appreciated.
