VAC excessive increase in response time

I never did as he suggested. I just let nature take its course. Everyone is in the same boat of wait times . Except perhaps those that are flagged applicants due to hardships . I did call every week to follow up on my applications . This is a top brass problem and we all know it needs to be addressed. The option he suggested I believe is for those that believe the process failed .. my only issue was wait times .. same as everyone else.

Copy and paste what you have written above and address it to the deputy minister via Vac Account. They will follow up with a lady on behalf of the DM who will investigate and keep you updated. The file will still take time. You will have more peace of mind I did.

The squeaky wheel gets results. BE POLITE. They are so used to Vets bitching they switch off.
Honey works in this case!

since this person is no longer a member here, does anyone know if what they say is really an option or is it just some trolling goose chase.?

My applications showed up almost immediately on Myvac account after I applied at step 3. Like 2-3 days to show up. My decision was awarded on the 3rd .. I only noticed due to payment changes on myvac account. This morning I recieved the decision letters and financial worksheets through myvac account.

P.s 100% back pay went to Daughters University. I spent it all at one place

Thanks, Ppclicaper! Quick question: Did your applications show up in your "MyVacAccount"? I'm asking because I applied end March and my have yet to show up there.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Don't spend all your $$ in one place

Glad to hear you got everything approved ppclicaper. I applied for CIAs February 20th as well, and a cia review. Hopefully not much longer to wait. Thanks for the update.

I understand .. been on VAC benefits since 2002. My first application was done in hospital over a course of a year. VAC states working on February 2019 applications . If there are people that applied almost 2 years ago for CIAS .. and have not heard back. Start making phone calls something is dreadfully wrong.

It was only an update my friend 🙂. Few on here applied the same time I did . The backpay will be good. From my hand to my daughters university in Edmonton 🙂

PPCLICAPER- Consider yourself lucky it's only 18 weeks some have been waiting over a year. Some CIA/CIA Supplement Applications go back to September 2017, and some reassessments and departmental Reviews go back to Jan 2018, though I am advised
that most of these are non-standard, complex claims or claims that were held pending additional information.
Good luck

Just an update . CIAS /CIA review . 4 months .. into week 18 as another week ends without update.

Have a great weekend all 🙂

Applied CIAS and CIA(review level) mid February.. they have been working on February files for about a month. 17 weeks and counting 👍

I get the ole they are in adjudication...and I say yes since middle February 😳. Than the ole excuse .. I think I call now cause the random excuses. Backlogged , March training for staff , the April 1st transition, working on February applications, at the adjudication process, and no clue on a estimate. I can play the waiting game no issues at al. I just do not like the run around and no updates .. hate excuses
