Re: PFL “The dust is settling”
At first I thought that getting the CIAS restricted you from getting the extra 1%, but the wording had me confused. but it looks like the the only way that NVC Veterans could get the 1% increases, is to have been getting the CIAS.
the monthly amount of IRB payable will be determined with the additional following provision:i.Pursuant to subsection 99(2) of the new Act, if the physical or mental health problem in respect of which the Veteran is deemed to be entitled to the IRB under (b) above did not result primarily from servicein the CAF and aCIA Supplement was not payable to the Veteran under subsection 38(3) of the former Act on March 31, 2019, then the monthly amount of the IRB that is payable to the Veteran under section 18 of the new Act is determined without any periodic adjustment in accordance with a career progression factor.

CIA Sup
How I read the CIA Sup is this will continue to be indexed - as well as being protected post 65. In so far as the 1%, it’s a little ambiguous-but my take is you will get indexed on Sup and won’t get the 1%. You will continue to be indexed on your other benefits . I would be surprised that those getting Sup would get both...but...for those that may be concerned - I would pose the question to VAC. I don’t expect the 1% till age 60/20 Years service, given I get the Sup and it is indexed.

Sorry, I don't see it.
If I am receiving the CIA Supplement and it is rolled into the new Income Replacement Benefit, do I automatically receive the 1% career progression after the first year (in 2020)?
As of April 1, 2019, the Department will automatically move Veterans entitled to Earnings Loss Benefit (ELB) and Retirement Income Security Benefit (RISB) over to the Income Replacement Benefit (IRB). Career Impact Allowance (CIA) Supplement amounts will be protected on coming into force and will be indexed.
A Veteran receiving IRB has their benefit calculated based on 90% of their pre-release salary, indexed annually for inflation. They receive this while pursuing rehabilitation services. If a Veteran is ultimately determined to have a diminished earning capacity and requires income support indefinitely, they receive the 1% career progression factor applied to their monthly military salary at release, every year until the Veteran reaches what would have been 20 years of service or age 60.
The adjusted military salary with career progression will be used for the IRB calculation starting the month in which VAC determines that the Veteran will receive the IRB for life

CIA Sup Post 65
Sorry folks-not very technically literate -so this post may appear more than once-but someone posted a concern CIA Sup would reduce at 65...if you check Q11 in this factsheet, it states the amount is protected upon coming into force.

Exactly. And the reason on the tax free benefits side of things it show a spot says "Expiry Date", but is blank, is because the APSC can be cancelled or reduced if a veterans overall situation improves. But under the new policies it says you would have to improve to the point you "had no barriers" for that to happen.

Re: PFL “The dust is settling”
If you look at the Fact Sheet Q11 on the attached, you will see the CIA Sup Amount Protected upon coming into force. It will not reduce at 65 if it is protected.

no dates means more hoopsSteelgunner wrote:I noticed on my screen shot that before I had certain benefits till 65. Now with the new benefits I don’t see any date it’s good till. What’s up with that?
Seeing others respond to this thread and talk about lost benefits down the road is starting to sink in. They gave us a bit of money to think, gee it’s not that bad. Where it effects the Veterans the most is down the road as a Future Veteran.
I don't care anymore, personally i just want left alone been through enough shit for this here Canikistan...

Re: PFL “The dust is settling”
I don't know what to tell you, because the only way that your ELB could be decreased, is if you started getting other money. So VAC may have used government channels to find out how much your CPP(D) is going to be, so they could do their calculations.

Re: PFL “The dust is settling”
nothing has gone through yet other than that l got a letter from the gov. Informing me that I am now CPPD, so l phoned the mil. Pension people and informed them, they asked for a copy of the letter by snail mail, so I haven’t even gotten a first monthly payment from CPPD yet, nor do I know how my previous mil. Pen will be effected. Then apparently after that gets sorted out , my ELB payment is effected too, this is all new territory for mebigrex wrote:like you said, it might have something to do with being approved CPP(D). How much are you getting from that?
