Vol. 145, No. 28 — July 9, 2011
Regulations Amending the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Regulations
(2) Permanent impairment Allowance supplement (PIA)Taxable
The permanent impairment allowance recognizes the lost opportunity effects that a permanent and severe impairment has on employment and career progression opportunities. It is a monthly financial benefit, payable for life, to Canadian Forces veterans who suffer from a permanent and severe impairment for which they have been approved for rehabilitation and are entitled to a disability award or disability pension.
This proposed amendment will add $1,000 per month to provide additional financial support to the most seriously ill or injured recipients of the permanent impairment allowance who are totally and permanently incapacitated, which is defined in section 6 of the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Regulations as unable to engage in “suitable gainful employment” as a result of the condition for which they are approved for rehabilitation. “Suitable gainful employment” is employment that provides at least 66 2/3% of the veteran’s monthly pre-release military salary.
It is recognized that severely injured Canadian Forces veterans experience loss of employment potential and diminished career progression, resulting in a greater need for additional financial supports. The additional $1,000 per month will ensure that those individuals who are unable to work or work at the same capacity will receive additional monthly support.
Argument for clarity sakes, can someone confirm that this supplement is in fact a non-graded supplement: meaning you will receive a supplement up to but not over 1000.00 dollars per month as I received an email from the Canadian Veterans Advocacy stating 3 grades ranging from 1600 to 543 dollars but I believe this to be something to do with Prisoner of War benefits. And confirm that both the new and old VC’s are included within this supplement, also do you have to be enrolled, completed or attempted VocRehab to qualify. Way to many acronyms used by these organizations.

Good add RR

I'm sure it is not complete so feel free to correct or add anything that I may have missed. Also please keep it clean.
