CPP D APPLYING YRS LATER

Roger that sparrow, good luck on his application for CPPD

Will's I do not believe so. It was his back and shoulder that caused the med release him hence Sisip did not deem him totally disabled and retrained him. In the interim, the nuetropenia and lymph nodes issues worsened. He was already diagnosed with nuetropenia while in the service but not for purposes of his release. I think we will be grateful for the CTC if we can get that at least. I will however encourage him to apply for the CPP D. One never knows based on his 13 years of neutropenia he may be approved. If not at least we tried. Thanks Will's

sparrow, is it possible for your husband to apply for CPPD only for the condition that he was released and not mention the other conditions? In other words, is his original illness enough to get him CPPD on its own?

Sparrow ,

i applied roughly around June 2009 they backdated to Jan2008 , retro $24,500 .00 CF Pension reduced $ 345.00 per month , so i had to return about $ 5800.00 to the GOC for those 18 months .

But , overall now that CPPD is a monthly deposit we are far adead , & don't forget that all pensions including CPPD are indexed , so the sooner you start CPPD , the sooner it goes up,up,up,

Thanks Nemo, I am reviewing the CPP D application presently.

The other point I was perplexed about is that sisip will not process a LTD claim going forward for my spouse as he was not released for the reasons with which he would apply for CPP D (in part). Reason being, the diagnosis although made while in the service was not the reasons for which he was released but have developed into a health concern. I would summize that many vets were not diagnosed until after med release for conditions that are related to military service. Just a thought as to potential loop holes in the system.

I would say...have your hubby apply for CPP(D).

But before making app to CPP, be sure his disability is well documented and that he has a doc that will support him as too disable to work.

As for his military pension, it will be clawed back some on receipt of CPP(D). But he will still get considerably more money than he would without it.

So I say go for CPP(D). At the worst - he won't be accepted and then I say - try again.

Yes actually ChiefD, I posted on the subject of CPP D guidelines. My question is in regards to the financial aspects of CPP D and military pension implications if approved.

If there is more money in your household after he is receiving CPP d why not it is simple math? CPP D isnt easy to get did you look at their Definitions of total disabled. If a university professor can work at Macdonalds no Cpp(d) FOR YOU!

Good morning, I have a quick question Robbie and Recon or anyone else who knows the answers. If my husband is not on Ltd going forward and only received his military pension 3b and our children are over the college years, would there be any benefit for him applying for CPP D. I was advised by Sisip that he could not apply for Ltd benefits beyond the two years that he is getting back as his new health issues (nuetropenia and Lymph Nodes) were not the reason for his 3B release in 2006. Secondly, there would have to be others who were released that developed health issues as a result of military service, how will Sisip deal with those clients? Thank you in advance for any advise.

Sparrow

That is definately the right approach , in 2008 i submitted all 454 pages of my Medical Doc's & left no room for doubt , approved quickly , very clean .

In with the doc's , out with the money .....

Thanks Bolt that was my intention as well, flood them with every detail imaginable and leave no doubt at all

When I applied for CPP-D, I knew that they would likely have me running around getting paperwork to justify my claim. What I did was since I already had a copy of my med docs from the CF, I photocopied every piece related to my benefits application and attached it to my application.

The way I saw it, is whoever was going to review my application didn't have any "wiggle-room" to deny me benefits given i just submitted every relevant medical document to back up the application. It worked because i was approved on the first application and other than needing a current medical interview, all my ducks were lined up so to speak.

I'm not sure how far back they dated my benefits, but i'm pretty sure it went from the date I was deemed "disabled" which was a at least a year pre-application. In fact, I think they initiated the benefits using the date on my medical release form as the date I became disabled as per CPP-D definition.

Good Luck!

REQUEST FOR TAXPAYER RELIEF RC4288 E (11)
from Sparrow is another avenue and it makes sense

Very good scenario RCN my only thoughts are what sparrow has said with regards to the Undue Hardships and if you have been reinstated (TPI) as totally disabled by SISIP and are now a recipient of a taxable LTD pension thus allowing to contribute into CPP where as due to your medical release 11 years ago you could not contribute. So contact Services Canada and make an inquiry. I do however have a question about anyone receiving a CF Pension and that is do we contribute into the CPP, never thought to look.
