HEARING DISABILITY

Bigbrook - Retd Rad Op here, with bad hearing. Tell them due to
Your severe hearing, it is too dangerous for you to operate your lawnmower, and snowblower, or other yard tools.

You would meet the criteria for VIP if you have qualified for a disability benefit.

My advice would be for you to apply for it as it is obvious you have qualified for a disability benefit.

You may qualify for VIP, if you meet one of the following criteria:

You have qualified for a disability benefit;
You have qualified for the War Veterans Allowance;
You are in receipt of Prisoner of War Compensation;
You are a Veteran who is eligible for, but is unable to access, a Contract Bed (also known as a Priority Access Bed);
You have been the primary caregiver for an eligible Veteran or civilian;
or
You are a low-income or disabled survivor of an eligible Veteran or civilian
