if I already have a paper copy of entitlement for my CIA/S for life, what stops me from demanding that the contract be honored as written?

So that's a 700% increase in the last 4 years, over the first 8 years. But unfortunately, 83% (989) of PIA recipients were getting the supplement, in 2014, versus only 58% now.

hmmm, how many are DEC?, l guess 5500 since they are already getting CIAS

It's pretty basic, instead of lumping it with the other taxable benefits, like ELB and CIAS, when deposited in your account, it will be lumped in with all the other tax free benefits, like the PA pension, Attendance Allowance, PFL pension and CRB. I think they are just worried that, depending on peoples' individual tax situation, this change could actually leave less money being deposited, and want to keep anyone from getting too upset, and calling the media, for example
Well I don`t know how many vets get CIA, but they are so far behind on claims, where will VAC find the time/Staff to call everyone.

Approximately, 9500 vets receive CIA. Approximately 5500 vets receive CIA supp

Send me a letter explaining how you arrived at the calculations!

They do not want to commit anything into writing.

Easy big fella.

from the vac fb page....Pension for Life will come into effect soon. If you receive a Career Impact Allowance, you will get a phone call from a Veterans Affairs Canada before 1 April 2019. We’ll discuss how the transition to the Additional Pain and Suffering Compensation will work for you and answer any questions you may have.

Thanks Sleeping dog. I receive CIA 2 and the supplement. I'm assuming, as bigrex said the CIA Supp will remain taxed.

I was thinking the same thing.
