sorry if l don’t understand what that means.? I was medically released before 2006 and was given a pension because I had served more than 10 years. I think it amounts to about $1500 a month, if CPPD was granted at $1000 a month, are you saying that $1000 would be deducted from the $1500 l currently get..?

Personally, I believe it is of benefit for you to go for CPP(D) .  But you must be deemed 100% disabled to get CPP(D). And you must be prepared for being turned down once and then appealing it. Many succeed on the appeal.

If you are not currently receiving CPP (D) then you are getting your full CF pension which also includes what is called the bridge benefit. This is often referred to as the clawback. If you don't have a statement that states the amount of your bridge benefit, then call the CF pension system and they will tell you. So let's say the bridge benefit for you is $400 (and this is purely a random number I am using for this example). So then that means that on receipt of CPP(D) you would now have your $400 deducted from your CF pension. Now I don't know how much your CPP(D) benefit will be. But let's say it is $1300. So then you would get $1300 CPP(D) each month plus $1100 from your CF pension.

Now, if you don't get CPP(D), then the bridge benefit from your CF pension will disappear at age 65 regardless of whether or not you opt to receive your CPP at age 65.. Many people are not prepared for that as years ago most military pers didn't even know the bridge benefit existed. I knew in my years in I never heard about it. But because so many were getting shocked at age 65 or on receipt of CPP(D), then this bridge benefit is usually shown on an annual statement.

are you saying that $1000 would be deducted from the $1500 l currently get..?

And you might find it of benefit to apply for your CPP disability. Could be better long term in what funds you get over your lifetime.

If you get CPP disability then you lose the bridge benefit of your C.F. pension.

I  know that Cppd is deducted from ELB, but what about a vets regular release pension.
