Hope yours goes fast as well.

Thanks, I hope so too. DEC is never a good thing for us vets struggling to get better but its a financial burden off our shoulders for sure...
I hope this can bring some financial stability for the both of you, take care now

I've been curious to know if a veteran receiving Income Replacement Benefit can qualify for a mortgage. Would VAC even provide some sort of support for financial approval or would this be looked as not legit?
Im currently receinvig Pain and Suffering + Income Replacement Benefit. As suggested by my CM I've put in a request for DEC but who knows how long this will take until VAC makes a decision.
Has anyone on here ever gone through this process or know anyone who has while on the Rehab Program/IRB?
Any help/advice is appreciated...
I’m hearing the wait for DEC hearings are over a year with no guarantee the vet will be granted IRB for life, it would be quite the gamble buying a home on the premise you will receive DEC. No one can live someone else’s life, but if l we’re you I’d find whatever coping mechanisms I could to stay put until after the DEC board, or you may find yourself out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Honesty, it would really help if you could wait until you get the DEC approval, because then you could prove that the IRB is not going to be cancelled in a month or two. One thing though, when you do apply, make sure that you point out what amounts are tax free, because their calculations are based off gross income. So they will add 30% to those amounts, to account for presumptive taxes. It will drastically change how much of a mortgage you could qualify for.
