Career Impact Allowance (CIA)

In my twisted Ptsd mind, would it not make common sense that anyone who is TPI, and cannot work again be moved to level 1. I know VAC will probably have some sort of another assessment. Just thinking?
Johnny Out. VVV...

Thanks Trooper and for the calculations in the other thread.

Other then what was previously said;

"Expanding access to higher grades of the Permanent Impairment Allowance to better support veterans who have had their career options limited by a service-related illness or injury. The potential impact of the permanent and severe impairments on veterans' career advancement opportunities would be considered in determining the appropriate level of financial support."

No other info has come forward, they will be putting out the new change with it's info after April 01, 2017

So now that the lump sum payment has been figured out anyone hear anything on the criteria for CIA?

vaincre,

Yes it would, you went from 20% award, down to 15%.

For disability benefits
Hello I would like to know if someone has received an amount of 20% in 2010 and receive a revaluation in 2012 of 5% less will this affect the amount of the disability benefit
I address it because veteran does not answer this question for now
Thank you

Summary
This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.

This enactment amends the Canadian Forces Members and Veterans Re-establishment and Compensation Act to, among other things,
(a) replace “permanent impairment allowance” with “career impact allowance”;
(b) replace “totally and permanently incapacitated” with “diminished earning capacity”;
(c) increase the percentage in the formula used to calculate the earnings loss benefit;
(d) specify when a disability award becomes payable and clarify the formula used to calculate the amount of a disability award;
(e) increase the amounts of a disability award; and
(f) increase the amount of a death benefit.
In addition, it contains transitional provisions that provide, among other things, that the Minister of Veterans Affairs must pay, to a person who received a disability award or a death benefit under that Act before April 1, 2017, an amount that represents the increase in the amount of the disability award or the death benefit, as the case may be.
It also makes consequential amendments to the Children of Deceased Veterans Education Assistance Act, the Pension Act and the Income Tax Act.

Yes, with PTSD and other psychological conditions, even if the Veteran finds it difficult to work, a psychiatrist might believe that their difficulty could be mitigated by the right meds and treatment. That is why it is harder to get TPI determination for psychological conditions, because it's not like they can look at X-rays or surgical reports, to help support their claim.

i just going by what i heard my own doc say that he deals with many military vets in halifax and he has had some very interesting ones coming in wanting to be put tpi and there was no way he could but there are many that he was able to help as a head doc and he always puts does not recommend returning to work % does not really matter if you have the evidence to back it up and the diagnose then there should be little to stand in your way

what`s the 'criteria" , seems to me if a psychologist states 'patient cannot work with the public or unsuitable for everyday surroundings " or whatever it shouldn`t matter if your rating is 25, 35, 60% etc? I would think, then again I`m not a Dr.

I am 55% and I think your mangler sucks.
The TPI policy is pretty easy to interpret. If you think you qualify, ask to have a TPI decision initiated.
If I had listened to my CM, I wouldn't have even asked for a TPI decision. She said I wouldn't qualify.
Sounds like you're getting the shat end of the stick with your case mangler.

i know people that got tpi at less than 50% you can always ask for a new case manager they had the doc or mental doc put down does not recommend returning to work
