Hey Ron , that's great News !

What Power does the OVO have to push for " EQUAL Benefits " though when it comes to standing up to the MVA O'Toole ?

Navrat there is going to be a ripple effect when the new PIA regulations are written up. When they loosen the definitions under the NVC about PIA then it will trickle over to the PA for the AA. I have been talking to the OVO and they are going to be very watchful to make sure when something changes in one act the other gets the same treatment.

Awesome thanks for the info.

I'm in process of applying for the cppd.
LTD has informed me I have to. Lol.

Will definitely contact my CM at VAC about the PIA PIAS. I'm positive I received something from VAC about being totally disabled.

Thanks

AA - attendance allowance, I receive this but I know many , many veterans who have been told by cm that they can't receive this. Now with the new I love families and spouses respite benefit they say the AA is for PA only. Good luck getting that , many have tried to crack VACs dome of denial !

buds it all depends on your situation but if can no longer work you should be applying for:

CPPD- Canada disability
DTC- disability tax credit
PIA- permanent impairment allowance
PIAS - permanent impairment allowance supplement

EIA- exceptional incapacity allowance this was replaced in the new system by the PIA but it is still in effect so you can receive one ore the other but not both if on the PA . you will require a 100% PA pension to be considered for EIA .

RISB- retirement income security benefit more to follow on this as it has not been written up yet to my knowledge and sure hasn't been implemented yet so MTF on that.

hope this helps

Reading through posts on here and there is alot of acronyms being used that I have no clue what they are or what they are for.

RSIB
EIA
PIA
PIAS

Also which should I be going after.

I was released in 2008 and receive my military pension, VAC monthly and SISIP LTD.
