Too bad there is no mention of how the levels of PIA are determined, or how these changes will effect existing PIA recipients. Will we each be reassessed? Even though additional Veterans being eligible for PIA is great, if 90%+ of PIA recipients, continue to receive the minimum, it will remain a half measure.

Here are the most recent regulation changes that came into effect on April 1st (for the three items PIA,ELB,Rehab) some very good reading as to rational,cost,ect...............for example how they got the 321 number that the new PIA changes would effect

Permanent impairment allowance
The number of CAF veterans expected to benefit annually from the permanent impairment allowance changes was determined by using a proxy population which was deemed, based on a file review, to have similar levels of impairment. This proxy population was the number of totally and permanently incapacitated clients, for the purposes of the earnings loss benefit, with a disability benefit assessed at 48% or greater as of March 2014 (and not in receipt of the permanent impairment allowance or other benefit [i.e. exceptional incapacity allowance]). It was then determined that based on entitled conditions deemed of sufficient severity as to result in probable severe limitation in mobility or self-care, 30% of this group would represent those who would likely qualify under the expanded eligibility by having “severe limitations in mobility or self-care.” Because these calculations are applied to the cumulative population of forecasted totally and permanently incapacitated clients, permanent impairment allowance intakes and exits are included in the figures.
