Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
Sorry, still do not get the numbers game. For the sake of round numbers, lets say that:
One gets 10,000, then 90% is 9,000.
75% (SISIP) is 7,500
15% (VAC) is :1,500
Sisip: 7,500 - 1000 (CPP)= 6,500
If VAC deducts (CPP) then 1,500 - 1000= 500 then I am short of $1000 ! I am paying them.
Which part I am not getting in this math?

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
Thank you bigrex.
VAC messed up my $$ to the .... blood boiling point and it will take them to 'review' their numbers 12 weeks! (if I were to believe them). It will be the same 12 weeks that turn to 16 weeks decision.
Unbelievable incompetence with these bureaucrats.

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
SISIP is the first payer, So if your ELB 90% amount is $4800, your 75% from SISIP amount would be $4000. Now if you get CPP, of $1000/mo, even though they are technically supposed to be deducted by both, it should look like this
SISIP $4000
- CPP $1000
= SISIP $3000.
ELB $4800
- CPP $1000
-SISIP $3000
= ELB $800
So if you are on ELB, the total amount of all your income cannot equal less than the 90% amount, regardless of deductions.
Edit. That is why, if you get back pay, always let SISIP know first. So when you contact VAC, you can let them know what the previous deductions made for SISIP were supposed to be, so that they don't both deduct that money at the same time.
SISIP $4000
- CPP $1000
= SISIP $3000.
ELB $4800
- CPP $1000
-SISIP $3000
= ELB $800
So if you are on ELB, the total amount of all your income cannot equal less than the 90% amount, regardless of deductions.

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
If one is with SISIP/Manulife at 75% LTD and VAC at 15% LTD/ELB (or whatever they call it), it is my understanding that SISIP/Manu is first to deduct/offset/reduce the $.
Is that correct?

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
here is a question for you, if someone was ELB, and applied for regular canada disability pension and was approved, that $1000 or so would be subtracted from ELB...but what if a vet is declared DEC,which is ELB til 65,and also applies for regular.Canada Disability, would that still be deducted from DEC as nothing really changed other than the title and duration?Nemo wrote:Taken direct from the ELB form are the incomes considered when calculating how much ELB you will get from VAC after they deduct sources of income from the following
CPP or CPP disability
QPP
SISIP LTD
CFSA
PUBLIC SERVICE SUPERANNUATION
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
WCB
ECONOMIC LOSS PAYMENTS FROM LEGAL LIABILITY e.g. Court damages, auto injuries
OTHER EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS
EI
EMPLOYMENT EARNINGS
SELF EMPLOYMENT EARNINGS

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
thx ,I looked into all that too.to be safe I'm going to apply in case VAC pulls the ELB safety net out from under meNemo wrote:You are right Bigrex. EI has limits as to when you can apply for it. And EI for medical reasons is very limited. IF I understand what they have written on their site, if you have not worked and paid into EI in the last 52 weeks you get nothing whether healthy or sick. And if on sickness benefits for EI that lasts a max of 15 weeks.

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
I believe there is a time limit to apply for EI, after losing a job, so I don't think you can just bank it, in case your ELB is cut off after a few years.

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
well l cant draw from my LIRA for a few years yet, so I'm too concerned.Nemo wrote:I suggest contacting VAC and ask them about your LIRA. I can give my interpretation of what is my best guess but suggest you go directly to VAC for the answer. I would go to my VAC account and use the secure messaging and then you would have a written reply to refer to.

If you are not eligible yet to withdraw from your LIRA then you are not getting income from it. Then it would not be considered as income.

Re: Diminished Earnings Capacity (DEC)
Be very careful dealing with those morons from VAC.
If Sisip/Manulife is deducting/offsetting/withdrawing your CAF Pension, CPP(D), etc., make it clear to VAC. Otherwise, those geniuses from VAC will start doing it again and .. try to sort that one with them ... . Good Luck.
Just my two cents
