    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    To George Wallace,       I may respect your opinion in more than one way. Truly, different degree's, slants or motives? Bear in mind an openmind can also be that of the understated... Anyone come to mind? Foresight begets hindsight 20/20.... I bear that in mind as it has served me well.    ...

    Fantino in/out of VAC: changes in DM/other staff (merged)

    Hey Teager, I agree with you... "IMO 4 million completely wasted." As I hear VAC awareness ads on radio stations, or see them for websites recently, they lead one to as much indepth transparency as the VAC site has. If someone is seeking indepth benefits or support, find the policy documents...

    Old Charter or New Charter, which is it?

    Thank you very much Reece. It finally makes sense, phew! Sort of consequentially attached to the old PA but not as a new claim in spite of putting one in. Sheesh, I couldn't even understand my CM's explanation. I wish VAC would just simplify, esp. for newer and much younger vets. "Cutting Red...

    Old Charter or New Charter, which is it?

    This topic ties into my sit and might help others. I've been low back x % PA for years, put a couple of consequential claims over the years. The last time I put in a new application in for lower leg functions (TOD). The app.was pre-written as a award so I thought it would be a NVC lump sum, oh...

    VAC claim work relationship

    Just my 2 cents worth,     I am old charter since the early 1980's. Been re-assessed, denied, approved, consequential, and new app'd many times and have seen too many dynamics. Case managers are not the same, do you have a pimple or are you paralysed  " specific to your case " , 1/5 or 5/5? ...

    Earning Loss Benefit ( ELB )

    25Hz...     Thanks for the info, I could not find many experiences of others. I am in the midst of ELB which just started for me. I feel I am fortunate, but it really peeves me off that there are benefits available, but being aware of them, or applying for them is such a tricky pickle. In...

    DND/VA HELP PLEASE!

    Hello,     I'm just a newbie here, but not with dealing with the DVA. My 20something% under the old charter is from the 80's. Some very good points and links from occam and 48 reg. What helped me the most was/is keeping every shred of paperwork, x-ray, specialist, rehab. report, you name it. I...
