glad to hear it all worked out this is why even if your 100% award getting the other things covered can also him in a big way. Don't be afraid to keep putting claims in if your at 100% and you still have things that they will accept and cover the cost of meds or treatment is well worth it.

But the great benefit is the medication is now covered. I take a needle a week for Crohn's the cost is 1000$ per needle.
So this is a great relief for me and my family.

Sports1977,

It's great to hear good news for a change especially before Christmas. 
Congratulations on your big win! 

Cheers,

Artie, if they increase the % after a reassessment, on a condition that was approved under the Pension Act, it can only be paid out as the monthly pension, because there is no lump sum amounts, available in the legislation.

[quote="bigrex"]unfortunately, because of the huge backlog, things that could normally take only a few weeks, can take a few months. Then once they determine the %, they will then send you a letter, requesting how you want the money, as a lump sum, or as a monthly amount over X number of years. I know it sounds rather redundant, because of PFL coming in so soon, but even then, we will have to let them know if we will choose a lump sum, or the PFL pension.[/quote
If a vet has a disability at say 30% and it was before 2006, but they get that disability reassessed and vac decides it’s now 60%, obviously depending how long you plan to live, getting a monthly pension based on 60% until you die is better, but under such circumstances could a vet take that additional 30% in a lump sum, and still keep getting the other monthly 30% portion.?

It all depends on what VRAB says. If they didn't say anything about the percentage, in their decision, then VAC will have to go through all the medical reports, to determine the actual level of disability.

Hello,

Great news i got a favorable decision.

But now that i got how long does it take before i get the % for the one.

The Panel chooses to believe the opinion of Dr. , who is a gastroenterologist and
the Applicant’s treating specialist. Dr. acknowledges that the cause of Crohn’s
disease is unknown, but indicates that PTSD is a significant aggravating factor to
Crohn’s disease.
Based on the evidence provided, the Panel concludes that the claimed condition was
severely aggravated as a consequence of the entitled condition of PTSD and grants
entitlement of four-fifths.
