Career Impact Allowance (CIA)

Sport.

The IRB will be the same amount as the current ELB. CIA is being replaced by the APSC, and they are adjusting the dollar amounts, to account for it being tax free, so instead of $599 for grade 3 CIA, before taxes, it's just going to be a flat $500 APSC and be tax free. . It could save you money, or it might actually cost you money, depending on your personal tax situation. If you are getting CIAS, you will continue to get it, but there will be no more new CIAS recipients after Apr 2019.

The major change between the ELB, and IRB, will be at age 65. So instead of ELB ending at age 65, and going on RISB, (which uses the total amount from ELB, CIA and CIAS to calculate the benefit) the IRB will merely be reduced by 30%. this could save severely disable veterans hundreds per month.

if you're already CIA and now meet the requirements for the supplement, if you apply for the CIAS does it happen faster because you are already CIA, or should expect to wait the usual 6 months

I spoke with someone about a week ago from VAC and i was told there processing January 2018 CIA applications

Was told last month that they were working on Aug applications, but now am being told that was a mistake and that they are actually processing applications from June. The backlog is getting worse not better. Very disheartening.

WOW!!! 10 months???!!!! I guess I'll stop check MYVAC account daily

Grade Amount
1 $1,828.67
2 $1,219.13
3 $609.56

The CIA supplement is $1,120.71.


So how does the CIA Supplement work,

is this added to the CIA Example:

If approved CIA and CIAS due to DEC.

would it be 1828.67+1120.71 = 2948.67/Month

and will this remove from my EELB.

would it be 1828.67+1120.71 = 2948.67/Month

yes

and will this remove from my EELB.

No

Hope this helps

Quick question..

Will the new IRB be the same amount or close to the CIA/CIAS and DEC?

Thanks Teager.

Airlog if you meet the CIA criteria medically for level 1, 2 or 3 it doesn't matter the amount of time you have in.

Hi Bigrex,
My CM is requesting DEC on my behalf. This will be good for EELB. Seeing how I have a 31 year pension I doubt that I would qualify for CIA. Right?

AirLog

If you are deemed DEC, and served less than 10 years, before being medically released, then yes, you should get grade 1. If you are not deemed DEC, then the grade is solely dependant on the severity of your PTSD.

Hi everyone !

Im wondering what grade I'll be, maybe someone can figure it out.

im currently on the Rehabilitation Program, I have a PTSD but when I've release i had more than 15 years to complete in the CAF. Am I automatically grade 1 ?

I didnt find it in english but, as I can understand at iii b), im suppose to receive grade 1 right?




Mesure de la déficience et de l’incidence sur la carrière
30. Degré 1 :
Degré le plus élevé de déficience physique, fonctionnelle ou mentale. Afin de déterminer si les
vétérans présentent ce degré de déficience, ils doivent répondre à au moins un des critères suivants :
Sur le plan fonctionnel, ces vétérans :
A. ont besoin d’être hospitalisés à long terme; ou
auront bientôt besoin de soins en établissement ou d’être admis dans un établissement;
ou
B.
ont besoin de l’assistance physique continue d’une autre personne pour six des sept
AVQ définies au paragraphe 20.h; ou
C.
ont besoin d’une supervision quotidienne et ne peuvent être laissés seuls en toute
sécurité.
D.
i.
a.
OU
Sur le plan physique, ces vétérans :
A. sont quadriplégiques; ou
B. sont paraplégiques; ou
ont subi une amputation bilatérale d’un membre supérieur (au niveau ou au-dessus du
poignet; ou
C.
ont subi une amputation bilatérale d’un membre inférieur (au niveau ou au-dessus de la
cheville; ou
D.
ii.

OU
Sur le plan mental, ces vétérans :
présentent des signes évidents de troubles délirants ou d’hallucinations qui influencent
leur comportement et qu’aucun soin psychiatrique ne contrôle; leurs capacités de
communication et de jugement sont profondément altérées, ils s’expriment de façon
incohérente ou inappropriée ou sont muets; ou
A.
ont besoin de recevoir des soins complets et d’être supervisés à leur domicile ou dans
un établissement
B.
iii.
OU
[b]Dans le cadre de l’évaluation de la capacité de gain et des années de service restantes, il a été établi
que:
[u]Il a été établi qu’ils ont une DCG, qu’ils ont le potentiel de gagner un maximum de 33,3 % de
leur revenu attribué, et qu’il leur reste plus de 5 ans de service et jusqu’à 15 ans de service
inclusivement

See, it's different for everyone, depending on the medical conditions that are creating the difficulty. For PTSD, they very well may just go with the recommendation from your Psychiatrist, or they may request further evaluation, It's impossible to know, until you actually apply.
